What is the latest anyone has had a male drop

[Chicagocrestedgeckos]

I was wondering what was the latest anyone had a male Drop. We bought 6 juveniles this year and I believe that 1 is already dropping at 11 grams. I have 3 that are 26 grams(9 months) and 2 are 20 grams (6 months). None of the 5 are showing any male signs yet, but I do not have a loupe yet.

Thanks

Right around 30 grams was the latest for me.

Thanks for the reply. Can I assume that was very late? How often after 20 grams have males dropped? Anyone want to recommend a good magnifying device or loupe.
Thanks

That's not a normal weight. Usually around 18 to 25 they have a fully developed bulge.
The best loupes I have used are the 30x jewelers loupe on ebay. They come from Hong Kong or China but they are cheap and work great.

I thought so. I am pretty sure all the ones over 20 grams will be female.

Thanks

They more than likely will.
If you have a good camera you can take a shot of the vent area and look for pores. it's easier for me to see them that way than using my loupe.
