Could this behaviour mean she is a he?

I got a new baby patternless from my local exotic pet store on Friday. The previous Saturday i had talked to the owned that breeds the Leo's and he said the hatchlings this year had been incubated for female.

The baby is still very small and only a month or so old so still too early to really tell the sex.

But yesterday i saw her turn her head and lick her back end for a few seconds, kinda like how i have seen males lick themselves after mating.

She has been eating and pooping fine and i havent seen any stuck shed on her.

Could she possibly be a male or do females sometimes lick themselves too?

Both genders lick themselves occasionally. You just have to wait and see if "she" grows bulges!

Thanks for the reply

Im hoping both my babies end up being female so they can be housed together They seem to be getting on really well and i kinda feel bad about housing them on their own

Whatever s/he turns out to be s/he is a little star Really sweet and chilled out little gecko The BF picked a good one

Don't ever feel bad about housing them alone. In our experience, they actually prefer it that way.

My little female has done that a couple times, once after pooping x_x But I know she's a female, found two infertile eggs in her tank.

My Female SHTCT licks her self often especially after pooping I think its just kind of a grooming behavior that all leos share.
