Sorry for the repost crossed over from another thread, but I couldn't resist showing him off some more. I rescued this handsome little man from someone I knew that had 5 geckos in a tank and was wondering why he was mean....Lol I think I've already caught the gecko flu...This is me and the mean, mean gecko haha

Good luck with the new rescue! Just be sure to implement quarantine if you are still getting your additional gecko.

No worries they'll each have their own luxury condo.

He looks dangerous lol. Nice rescue. I can't get enough time with my geckos. I understand the flu. I got it bad too.

Yea he's a natural born mealworm killer lol. He didn't have any type of heat in his last enclosure so he's just living the dream now.

I finally got "him" still long enough to snap a picture. Im guessing by the bulge at the base of the tail that he is in fact a male?

your pictures are very blurry but it does look like a male.
females have been known to have bulges too but if there is a clear pheromonal pore line (which i cant really tell for sure from the pic) then it is defo a male.

I agree he looks male. Looks like he may have abit of stuck shed on his belly. I'd give him a good soak in 90 degree water and make sure you have a good vitamin and calcium supplement and he should be good to go

That's exactly what it is. I cleaned him up and he had a defined pore line. I rescued him a few weeks back where he didn't have a heat source or moist hide so he's had a bit of a rough shed, but I took a warm q tip and got the little piece of shed off. I had to do it to his toes as well.
