Question

how can u tell from a femal crested gecko and a male crested gecko because i have one and i cant tell wat it is so please help me

Answer 1

the males have visible hemipenal bulges underneath the base of their tail and the females lack these bulges. sexing a crested gecko is not possible until the gecko reaches 4 months of age. that is unless you have a high powered microscope and can see the pre anal pores.

Answer 2

It is easiest to determine the s*x of crested geckos that are over 6 months old.  Male crested geckos will develop a very noticeable hemipenal bulge just below the vent.  The hemipenal bulge develops on males at between 5 months and 9 months old.  Females do not develop a bulge.  Sexing subadult crested geckos is considerably more difficult.  Using a 10x or better jewelers loupe or magnifiying glass, you can look for evidence of pore development in the region just anterior to the vent. Pore development may be seen on males at 5-10 grams but sometimes the pores do not develop until later
