I Bought this young Leopard Gecko for my son and was wondering if any one could tell me if it's a male or female? and how old do you think it is? Are the two spots (pores) below the vent, the male preanal pores?
Thanks, Bob

Looks like a girl and those pores are post (not Pre) anal ,the pre anal pores are the tell tale "V" and male will also show Femoral pores on their thighs along with post anal bulges...

Thanks for the reply.

My above responce was based on your fist pic,(My Computer is slow to show pics ,,,That close up looked like an adult till i went back and saw (the rest of pics)That it was a Baby that does have some (maybe ) noticable bumbs....and pores come with maturity...Peace Chris

Yes, too young to sex by photos right now or at least without some really powerful lens.

Weight until the gecko reaches about 30 grams for the pre-anal pores(femoral pores) to be clearly visible to the naked eye.

Also, a jeweler's 10X loupe lens can help with sexing hatchlings if you know what to look for.
