Sexing Thoughts

[C C Gecko]

I purchased this crested about a month ago and this crested was hatched on 11/26/09

I am beging to think that it isnt the sex I was told and I would like everyones thoughts on it.

Thanks

It looks to us like a male we were informed it to be female

Are the pictures not good enough to tell... Let me know.

Thank you.

hard to tell without a side shot of the "buldge" but there are some buldgy females but if it's that old should be much bigger than that i think. got a weight? weight will help determine how big the buldge should be and be more accurate for determining male or female.

Sorry about the delay but I wanted to use our better cam and had to wait for a piece of hardware to put the picutes on the computer.

Here are better pictures.

Current weight is 14.7 gram with a hatch date of 11/2009

Looks pretty bulgy to me. I'd say male. Do you see any pores? Can't tell from the pics.

Just 2 white things on either side of that bulge as you can see one in the forth picture.

Those are the "spurs" both sexes have them. Look at the area just above the vent, might need to use a magnifying glass. Males have a "V" shaped row of preanal pores that look like little dots.

It's hard to get the cam to focus but here are two pictures, I can't see a v shape at all.

from those pics I'd actually say female. I can't see any pores, and by this age they should definately be showing.

Edit: I just looked again at the hatch date, that gecko's almost a year old and definately doesn't have a full hemipenal bulge or pores. Female it is.
