I think Buffy is female, but I'm not entirely sure about sexing Tokays. From what I have read it is different for Leos or Cresties.

Female. In adult males the pores are very pronounced and usually have a degree of waxy discharge. Also, I have heard (and it hold true for the two dozen or so tokays I own/have owned) that in males the "V" of pores extends down the thighs, as opposed to in females where it is usually much shorter. I can't say for sure that always works, but so far it's proven correct in my experience, even in month old babies. With that animal's size though I'm 100% sure thats a female.

Ted got it.

But for later searching reference...

first 2 are female, 2nd 2 are male, and last 2 are old pics of my old pair. The darker gecko is Toodles, father of Gex, and grandfather to a hatchling I posted pics of around Nov 20, 2010.
