Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I tried searching but couldn't find
the answer. Can someone please tell
me how to sex these beautiful lizards.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

thank you

the best way is to compare side by side but females are slightly smaller and a little more robust. they have large chalk sacks behind their jaws and generally are not as vivid and brightly colored as the males.
the males have more distinct femoral pores and a larger(hemipenal) bulge at the base of the tail. if they are captive bred then the sex is dependant upon the temp that they were incubated at

Thanks so much for the info. From the info it looks like
I may have an adult male, 2 adult females, and a juvi
male. If you or anyone else has the time I have more
questions. Do they live in colonies or pairs? Are WC
specimens easy to aclimate? What's the best way to do it?
What is the best ratio M/F?
These beauties kinda just fell in my lap so I'm trying
to learn as much as I can to make them happy.

thanks for your time,
Anthony

in pairs. i had two adult females together in cage for around a year and they didnt really bother eachother. one was more dominant, but they didnt fight. i put them into a bigger tank when i introduced a male and within a day and a half the one female killed the other one. you can keep them in a colony, but its not worth it because they bully each other to the point of death. i learned that with day geckos that babies, even if they are twins, they should be housed seperately. they wont always fight, but one will always be dominated, unless its a breeding pair.
