do u know the sex of those 3?

to me no1 looks male, no2 looks male and no3 looks female but its hard to sex from photographs as slight colour change in pixels can look like pores i suggest buying a jewelers or photographers loupe and learning what to look for yourself, as they are much easier to sex in person.


No! lol. . . I know what to look for.

I just need to get a jewelers loupe, i hope they arent 3 males! Sad


Sorry if i sounded a bit condescending when i said learn what to look for. Having read it back its sounds quite harsh which i didnt mean it to be

but i definatly suggest getting a loupe. they come in really handy and arent that expensive

is it the wee white bits on either side of the tail??

I'm finding that even without a loupe you can see a band of 'different' looking scales in males. I guess the only way I can describe it as looking blurred.

once geckos get a decent size there is no need for a loupe. Ive got a crestie that 8 grams ind i can see the pores without a loupe. He's also starting to get a buldge. His the smallest gecko ive sen with a buldge
