Ok so I bought this gecko about a year ago from Brittany gougeon at pacherp as a female Mack snow eclipse het bell. Well we both thought it turned out to be male. So here's a pic. Has the very distinct pores but no bulges. This same gecko also seems to pee a lot when I pick her or him up. Like a good amount of pee. Any knowledge on that would be great thanks ahead of time.

-have a few youngn's that are lil squirters... but none of my adults do, so not sure...

have you tried placing her with a KNOWN male/female, carefully watching for any signs?
I went through this with my sunglow recently. Pretty distinct pores from the get go, but never a prominent bulge. She was purchased as a male. I tried placing her with my tang female, and the TANG showed some aggression, and the sunglow just hid. I tried placing her with a smaller male, to see if maybe there would be any reaction on her part.... she just hid. so I too was lost. Until this week. She started ovulating. Full on, and perfectly clear. I placed her in with my Rev stripe RAPTOR, and he locked up with her in seconds. no retreat, or hiding this time... She's 54g and still (until she ovulated) wasn't sure of the sex.

she came from a snowglow x aptor pairing.... I'm wondering if maybe this could be a common trait from albino mack or maybe even eclipse/het eclipse x mack pairings? My female mack snow years ago was pretty male looking in the begining...but now she's definately a "she" as well... this is her first year breeding, and has eggs cookin' as we speak.

have you looked through a jeweler's leupe? at least a 10x.. you can find them on ebay pretty cheap. that'll give you a nice clean view.

Cheers.



EDIT: how old/heavy is this gecko.... looks like a "she" to me... all my males had some pretty big ones showing by 20-25g
