sexing gex..

[lloydy1]

Hey guys,

Im just wondering how do sex a smooth knob-tailed gecko?
Im looking to buy a female and male, but as im not sure how to sex them, i dont want to take a chance, and end up with 2 males, or 2 femals.

Any help/pictures would be great.

Cheers

I'm not quite sure about knob tails, but I have marbled velvets and I know its hard to sex till they are nearly mature, I'm not sure if all geckos are similar when it comes to sexing. When they are old enough to tell then its easy, when looking underneath the boys they are clearly different to the girls! I thought I had 2 girls for a while till the boy all of a sudden had become a man!

Thanks for the reply..
Soo.. To be more to the point.. You can see their penis?

Sorry, obviously not too clear I am, they have two round lumps underneath before their tail starts

the boys have bulges between the cloacal and the base of the tail and the girls dont . just google pics it , its not hard to find
