Better pic of our Bliz's parts

This was the top one that everyone was indecisive about.. much better shot. Sorry for the sloppy first try!! Better when there are 2 people, one to hold and the other to click!:D

I guess I'll have to wait a bit longer for my gecko too.. because honestly after seeing all these pictures I think mines a girl.. not a boy.. here is a question I have.. is it hard to introduce two females into the same tank that were not liter mates? Oh and sorry to change the topic :X

Hmm...it's even harder to tell in that pic! Do you know how many grams it is? Weight can be a better teller than apx. age. Usually by 25g it's pretty obvious. I believe the male pic I posted was right at 30g.

Not sure if this helps at all.. my camera is awful.. it was the best image I could get. If you can't tell then I have a gecko buddy in the area who said she would help me out.

Some are easily sexable at 10 grams and some keep you guessing. I've had 30 gram animals that are still iffy. If it goes that long I just put a mature male in and see what happens but you've got to be ready to separate them immediately.

I'm not trying to breed gecko. I'm actually trying not to get more then two for the moment. I though mine was a boy so I was going to have just him. But now that I look again there is so dark noticeable pores. and no bulge either. So, I think I actually have a girl. And if that is the case then I would want to get her a tank buddy (female) before she wont adapt to the new tank mate.

It looks like a female but it's pretty small so it could still surprise you!

How big is he? He looks so small to be breeding already... Maybe it's just the picture.

He is about 2 years old I believe...I havnt had him since he was a hatchling so I cant be 100% sure...
