Gecko Male or Female???

[gman78]

Just got this little fella.
How do you tell if it is male or female?

It's a bit hard to tell from that pic. If it's a male it will have a couple of bulges(hemipenes) underneath at the base of the tail. If you are still not sure post a pic of the underside here and someone will be able to help you out.

take a pics of the underneath of its tail, if it's being fed 3 times a week you should be able to tell b around 7 months of age.

yeh an underside pic would be great,

males have a much larger bulge at the base of there tail compared to a female.

It's easier to tell by looking for hemipenal bulges but it looks like a male because mature females of this species have calcium deposits on the sides of the neck (probably used up when the eggs are formed) which I've never seen in males.
