Unknown Sex

[fot80]

Hi all. I'm new to the forum. I have two leopard geckos that are in a 20 gallon and soon will be moving to a 40 gallon. I keep the temperature in the high 80s during the day cycle and low 80s in night time. Cool side of the tank is around 5 degrees colder. They have an excellent appetite and are fairly active. Here's my question:

I don't know what sex they are. They are almost adults, but not quite. I have researched what to look for, but it's really tough to tell. I'm worried that they might be two males. I don't want them fighting as they are nearing adulthood. Right now, they are cute and peaceful. They cuddle in their exo terra reptile den. There is 0 fighting. Is there any way I can test other than by eye? Thanks all

Can you take some pics for us to see? -

Welcome to GF. I am moving this post to the correct section. Please post in the proper subforum next time. As mentioned above, pictures would be good. If you live in eastern MA, let me know and I can come over and take a look (I'm in Somerville).

Hello. Sorry for the late reply. I've been tied up. Here are the photos of the first gecko Sorry for the quality of the pictures. They are blurry They haven't been handled much and are a bit skittish. It was tough getting the camera to focus.

Here's Gecko number 2.

Pictures are too blurry to be 100% sure but they look like they may both be males. I would separate them ASAP before they begin to fight. If you can get clear shots you may get a more definitive answer.

Thanks Lisa. I "BELIEVE" I'm starting to see two round objects in one of them that wasn't so visible before. The other one, I still can't see anything, but then again, I'm new to leopard geckos. I was afraid they would be males. I'll try to get two more pictures tonight, but I had such a tough time getting my camera to focus. Aliza, unfortunately I'm in the Lowell area. It's a hassle for you to drive up here.

Lowell is no big deal (I'm a home care therapist, I'm on the road all the time). If you want to pursue this, send me an email at [email protected].
