Everyone says you can not sex young leopard geckos. I've also heard that with a 10x magnifying glass you would be able to see the preanal pores well enough to sex them. Does anyone know if this is actually possible? I have a 10x magnifying glass and either all four of my little guys are male, or i don't know what i'm looking for, or there really is no difference between the sexes yet. Does anyone have any input?

thanks

I was able to sex mine right around 20g...which is still pretty young. I've also heard of using a magnifing glass, but I don't know how well it works, or how accurate it would be.

I just guessed on their sex when I got them (about 7g) based on the body build and head shape. I was right, but maybe I was just lucky.

Sorry I can't help you more, but I am interested in what others have to say about this.
