It looks female because it doesn't have the large pores, but I'm not certain.

that was my inclination, but i wonder what other people think. Also, that was supposed to be 6 inches, not 6 months. I unfortunately do not know the exact age of my gecko friend. Im pretty sure its a tang, though you can't tell from the underside.

Looks female to me!

HEy,
Looks very much as if it's a female. My leo is only about 4-5 inches and i can already see the pores on him. So yours should be a female. Enjoy your leo!

Definitely female! I ahve two females that are full grown and a juvenile male that is about 6 inches but already has the pores. He developed them at about 4 inches. He also has a huge bulge at the base of his tail.

thanks everyone for your help. My mom will be psyched to have another lady in the house. I was thinking of a patternless or tang albino to keep her company. Any thoughts?
