Hello

Congrats on your new geckos! If they are mature, you can tell the boys by the two bulges you will see at the base of their tail (you can even see them from the side as he is standing.) also, the male will have more pronounced pores, in the shape of a V, between his legs if you flip him over. Hope this helps!

This is Spitefire...a young male tremper albino...

This was him a month or two ago...

This is a female (I can't remember which one...lol but it's either Blinkers or Vahz)...

I'm not sure if that will work for everyone...so here's the link.. http://community.webshots.com/s/image3/7/50/40/112675040HIZpRk_fs.jpg

And finally, this is my other female Skissor, taken when I was trying to determine her sex....

I found that my male had the noticeable bulge behind the vent. The link I posted should help.
