The first, second and last appear to be male to me. The third one is hard to see. Coleonyx are extremely easy to sex. Just look for the spurs that are on the sides of the hemipenal bulges.

Great looking geckos. In good shape.

I agree with python1234: first, second and last one males. I think third one is a female.
Enjoy them!!

Thanx a lot for the Help!!!

I hope for more females this season - does anybody now which incubating-temperature produces more females?

(this 4 hatling are incubated in the terrarium so i think lower temperatures makes more males?!?!)

Normally lower temps produces females. I have never worked with elegans, but I think incubating in the low 80s (27 C) will get you your females. Do you know the terrarium temps?

I agree again.
In C. elegans with temperatures around 28-29ºC (82,4-84,2ºF) the sex proportion is 2:1. At temperatures of 25-27ºC (77-80,6ºF) there are as many males as females. Around 24-25ºC you will get more females than males. ("The eyelash geckos")

In the Wetbox where my female lays her eggs is the temperature between 25 degrees and 20 degrees in the night and summertimes,the temperature ist between 29 and 23 degrees!

so in the next breeding season i have to collect the eggs by time and put them into the incubator, setting a temperature around 24 degrees...


thanks for the Tips!!!
