I've been searching all over the place trying to find a female giant day gecko for my male, and finally I found a place in CA that had a supposed female. They stated that she came in with a lot of males and that she was getting gang banged in other words. She had bite marks all over her shoulders and body when she got to me. I've had her for a about a month and she's healed great. I recently introduced her to my male gecko and they seem to get along alright. He attempts to mate with her only to get shot down with a swift bite. I've been having problems verifying the sex of my new supposed female gecko. She is larger than my male and her fermoral pores are very noticable as in my males, the only difference is the hemipenal bulges in my male are very noticable and she seems to not have as big a bulge. Can anyone verify that she is in fact a female? Also any ideas how i can influence her to mate with him? Thanks, Don

Here is a link to a picture of my "female" gecko if it doesn't show in the post.

I've been keeeping giant day geckos for a few years, and i had a male as my first. I noticed on my male he had very pronounced femoral pores on his inner thighs, they even produced a waxy secretion that the females didn't have. The females have chalk sacks on both sides of their neck. Males tend to have a broader head. If it hasn't devoloped it's bulge after a year it's more than likely female.

your standings looks like a female, but it looks young and may be too difficult to tell yet. your grandis is definitely a male.
