I know its a small pic and horrible angle, but can anyone tell the sex of this gecko? I'm adopting him/her from craigslist and want a FEMALE!!! Thanks

Without a picture of the underside, there's no way to tell.

Also, from the *apparent* size of that gecko (it's a little hard to be sure of scale), it may be too young to be visually sexable. Do you know how old it is?

Yeah the previous owner sent me that pretty unhelpful pic. He has had the gecko a few months but I have no idea how old he/she is. He said its 6 inches long (im guessing that includes the tail).

Another question...I know the cresteds cant be visually sexed until theyre 8-12 months old, but can they be probed or professionally sexed as juveniles? There's a reptile shop 'prehistoric pets' here in orange county that'll do it for 5 bucks.

it is possible to sex a gecko 3" SVL by checking for pre-anal pores. you do not probe crested geckos and you don't really need to be a professional, just need to know what you're looking for. don't let them rip you off.

Thanks alot!! Very helpful reply...i will look for the pores. I remember a similar diagnosis for leopard geckos, only i remember them being much more visible. Thanks
