Sexing Leopard Geckos!!!

Slowster83 Jun 21, 2003 07:12 PM

Hello,
I am having problems sexing my leopard geckos, i mean they look like there old enought to be sexed and all. Does anybody have a better picture of a male and female, the reason i am asking is because i think i have two males or 2 females, i am not sure, if its two females i would have to go get a male because i didnt want two females. Can somebody please give me there email address and do you have msn messanger, or yahoo or aol. More preferable yahoo so i can show you my pic of mine on my webcam. If you can, can you tell me within like a week so i can take him back if its a male or female because I got it last tuesday and it will be a week from tuesday so if it becomes a male then i can take it back and get another one.
Thanks,
Brandon

P.S. Dont forget to let me know.

Here are two pics of my adult albinos. The one with the bulges is the male.

Those are perfect examples and great pictures, Uriah.

Just in case the one who was asking didn't understand the "bulges" part...Uriah was talking about the two lumps behind the vent on the tail side. Also, males have that V-shaped row of enlarged pores. Females have them too but they're very small.

to tell the sex of a leo, you must look between the legs of him/her. males have what looks to be pecks (man boobs)and girls dont! girls just have one large peck! hope this helps!

I have three leos. Two are still juvies, and the third I believe to be male. He has the bulges but he has the "V" but they are not dark at all. He is about 6 months old, still to young?
