Sex Determination

[Nihlus]

Hi I'm new to the forums and a new owner of leopard geckos.

My local pet store was unable to tell me the sex of my gecko as they purchased them wholesale from a breeder and don't know the incubation temps. So I'm wondering at what size/age/weight can you accurately tell what sex a gecko is. I'm unsure as to the exact age but it weighed 21g 2 weeks ago and has bin eating like a champion since I got it and appears to have increased in size since then.

I don't know about weight but I have read that you will be able to tell around 6 months. Here is a picture of what to look for

Yea I figured the dark colored flooring would make its colours show up brighter

If you're not seeing fairly pronounced bulges at that size it's probably a female.

Checked last night and as far as i can tell there are no bulges at the base of its tail so I'm guessing its a girl
