Male/ Female

I purchased this gecko as a female, AGAIN, and it seems as it might be male? It is easy for me to tell on larger males, like over six months, but this one is only about 5 inches long, um, I think four months? I need to know soon so when I go to the expo this weekend I will know whether I can purchase another male if there is a nice one there or get females only as I do not want three males right now... just two. Not that I care either way. I just want confirmation before I go and buy another male. :)

No pores are really visable yet, and no bulges, but in pictures females look as they have NO bulgy-ness what-so-ever. On this one, views from the bottom look suspicious, but from the side bulgy-ness is only visable occasionally. Aruba, my male, was a female until a couple weeks ago and he is six months old, lol. Just need help on seeing differences as juveniles. Thank you!

I was just going to post a thread about how to tell in young geckos - around 4-5" length and around 3-4 months old! Thanks!

I'm curious how everyone seems totally sure she is really a she? At 4 months old do boys already look that different?

See to me the second pic almost looks suspicious of being a juvie boy...you can almost see the dark "v" forming as well? (Or maybe just my eyes. LOL)

Does anyone have any pix of young gecko boy parts for comparison? LOL (that just sounds wrong!)

So for example....here's the private parts pic of my baby that I am waiting till (he) gets bigger to figure out what (he) is.

(He) is est around 3-4 months old, no clue on how old he was when I got him except he was pretty tiny, like 2.5" long. And I got him almost 2 months ago.
Now he's probably around 5" long, I don't know i haven't measured him lately!

Here's the gender pic - by all terms (he) seems a female. But at (his) age, est 3-4 months old - how can you be sure?
