Bad Luck?

I seem to be having very unfortunate (dont want to say bad particularly since some people would not mind) luck with the sex of my leopard geckos.
Now I know theres no 100% chance you'll get what you incubated for but this is getting ridiculous.
My first two leos that I got three months ago I purchased as ts females....well three months later they look pretty darn well like males to me (judging by other threads and pics, etc) I'm no expert.
So now I must sell one or both of them since I dont have the space for another individually housed male!

But the bad luck doesnt stop there.....

Just recently I went to my first reptile show and purchased a ts female SHTCTB.....and its looking like it might be a male also! I still have hope for this baby he/she as it is only about 13 grams but looking like its going to show male features.

I think I will just stick to buying vs adults in the future!

Anyone else have this sort of luck? or is it just me :main_rolleyes:

I buy geckos infrequently and don't buy them that young. Besides getting them older, you can also ask the breeder exactly what the temperature was that s/he used (there could be a difference between 80 degree and 83 degree results), or bring a jeweler's loupe and look under magnification.
