male or female?

gavin_sons · Jul 18, 2014

Got this gargoyle "peter" a couple weeks ago but I think he is really a she. Looked at a couple others tonight at the pet store and they are smaller and have a big bulge at the base of the tail. I looked at "peters" glands and they do not have dark spots so that furthermore is convincing me he is a she. Can anyone tell from these pictures?

Well I determined "peter" is actually a she so while at +++++ today they had a good looking male and were having a half off reptile sale so went ahead and picked him up for 30 bucks. "Peter" is a hair bigger and fat. The new one is skinnier and hoping to beef him up a little in the next couple of weeks. Have them in the same cage, 18x18x18. Planning a 24x24x36 diy cage with plexiglass or may just use a 40 gallon breeder stood on end and make a plexiglass door with screen at the top 1/3. They are gettling along just fine so far. First is the new male, second is the female.

Nice Gargs! I picked up some at the local half price sale that day, too. The male I picked up fires down pinkish. Very nice.

Congrats on your new garg. Consider quaranting them from each other for a month. Consider the fact that garg breedeing season is over till next spring for many gargs, and also that gargs are less likely than some other gecko types to get along together in the same cage.

Well since my last post I have built a 24X24X32 plexiglass cage. They have been together for a couple months and have never showed any agression toward one another. I mad my own background with some cork bark and the great stuff expandimg foam In black. I had 2 lights I use to use on my planted aquarium that I stuck on top. They seem really happy. The female is fat as ever but im having a little trouble putting weight on the male. He seems to be more of a hunter, so I feed him several crickets a week. He will eat repashy cgd and also some baby food like the apples and chicken. But over all it is going good, ill post some picture of the new tank when I get a little time. Leaving in the morning on a motorcycle trip.

Keep an eye on them. I keep 1.2 gargs together most of the time. Last year, one of the females was getting attacked by the male and ended up with a head wound, so she spent about 6 months by herself. I re-introduced her at the beginning of the breeding season and all 3 did fine until a few weeks ago when the other female started to show bite marks on her tail (which she has since dropped). She is currently by herself. They have spent months getting along fine and all of a sudden someone is getting nibbled on, so be prepared for the possibility that temporary or permanent separation may be necessary (or not . . .).
