HELP. What gender is my Leopard Gecko?

[madison612]

I am very eager to find out what gender my gecko is. The pet place said male, but I am very unsure about this. I've had my gecko for a little over a year. Can someone clear this up? I'm so curious!

I can see pores all the way from the east coast, so I'd say male. By the way, I deleted your other post since it was a duplicate.

Thank you. I'm new here and I was trying to figure out how to delete it. But thank you again for clearing that up for me. That is what I thought. My friend had said that it was a female, but I've been calling my gecko a him.

That's not a male it is a female. Pours are very small and no bulges.

Are you sure? I'm so confused on my gecko's gender!

If you look at your leo from the side, a male will have obvious bulges and a female will not. I always find it hard to tell if there are bulges in photos unless I'm looking at a side view photo.

Both can have bulges it is there placement that differs in reference to their vent. I see a v shape in the pores but no darkening that would lead me to believe anything but female especially if this gecko is over 6 months old.

No female I've ever seen has had the obvious bulges of a male from the side.

My leopard gecko is a female.

My leopard gecko is a female.

I thought you were asking us??

 

[madison612]

I was! Using your method, she is a female. Also, my cousin is a veternarian and said it looked like a female.

 

[lisa127]

Oh, ok...lol.

I'm willing to go with the "female" consensus in that case.
