Default Oedura castelnaui from Elizabeth

I'm very happy with this little one. A friend saw how much I liked it so he got it for me at the GGA table last weekend. I'm thinking it maybe a girl but I'm not really familiar with sexing them. Its also only about 9m old. I'm not sure what age/weight they are normally sexable.

Easily one of my favorite geckos. I'm currently keeping a 2.2 of them - 3 from Elizabeth's stock and one from Sommers stock.

i am not sure if males have visible pores (never looked for them)

spurs are present in both sexes, in males they use to be a little bit larger

according to my experience, the main difference between males and females is the size and shape of the bulge: males have larger, broader bulge; females have smaller bulge (good fed females with a lot of fat in the tail may have also relative big bulge, but the shape is different - not so broad)

Thank you.

Can anyone give me a good weight for an adult female? I'm looking for a male now but I would like to know whats a good breed-able size and age on them. My little one is 7.4g now.
