Sexing Leopard Geckos, Is Mine A Male?

[corvettefan]

I noticed that on my leopard gecko, are some bulges on the end of the body where the body meets the tail. I Googled it and found some pictures of a leopard gecko's rear end, and apparently it's a male trait (testes?) so would this mean that I have a male, or could it be something else?

Pictures would help alot.

But if you can't provide pics that's alright too.

How old is this leo? younger ones can be very difficult to sex.

if you see a prominate "v" of pores above the vent area it is a male. If not then it isn't.

I don't really have pictures. Flipping them over is pretty hard too lol. If it's not a male, then what else could the bulges be?

Here is a thread where I was also a little suspicious of the sex of my leo. It's a female, but has kind of a bony structure at the base of her tail, rather than buldges. There's also a link to a website with good pictures of a male leo.

Hope this helps!

They look a lot more "sphere-like" than that. I'll have to put them in a clear container to tell.

If the buldges are more round then it's probably a male. it's hard to tell without pictures though!

^Not my picture, but that's exactly what it looks like^

I also noticed a little white thing on his/her stomach when looking from below, what could that be?


EDIT: Sorry they're so big, I wasn't expecting that.

The pictures are pretty blurry but it looks male to me. If you can see 2 bulges then it's definitely a boy.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Sorry the pics were blurry, the camera was really close, and it has a crap focus.
