Can someone tell me the sex of my giant day gecko?

I am not for sure of the sex, anyone have any guesses? And how sure are you? It is about 6-7in long. Thanks

Looks female to me. I have 2 males and 2 females and I didn't really know until i got my hands on the females. Its obvious, the females are smaller, the femoral pores dont stand out as much and they have chalk sacs in their cheeks. Does this one have baggy pouches on its face? From what I see in the pic I would say female but a head shot would confirm. Don

Thanks for the reply. I believe it is too young to have the calc. sacs form. Its head seems to be a little more broad than others I have seen, but I can't tell if they are the start of the sacs or a broader male head.

Hard to tell with that picture. Can you post something that has better focus?

I don't know if I can try another one, that was the best pic I could get and it zoomed in 5.O digital. What should I be looking for?
