1 male and 2 females!!! Thank god! I bought these guys really young and had no idea how many males or females there would be, but they're finally old enough to where i can see the v-shaped vents and the bulges on them to tell. Very glad because now i don't have to separate any of them, and i can make babies!!! heheh... by the way, how old are they when you can see the v-shaped pores? if anyone has a clue i can figure out how old they are.

Each Gecko can mature at a diff rate. I believe they reccomend sexing them at around 6 months. My experience is I can usually tell between 3 and 4 months, males sometimes even sooner.

You might eventually have to seperate the male from them because it might keep trying to breed even after they are gravid and hurt your females.

If the females are not at least 50 grams a piece, then you'll have to seperate the male from them anyhow because of the possibility of too young of breeding and egg binding resulting from the breeding.
