Lightbulb New gecko, help?

I just got my first crested a few days ago. I'm not sure if of it's gender but I'm thinking it may be female. I can usually my pets right away, it just comes to me, but I'm having so much trouble with this one.
Here it is:



I'd like uncommon and interesting names. I have a turtle named Pierre and a rabbit named Delilah if that helps!

Also, any tips or pointers would be appreciated since this is my first crested!

Very pretty little crestie!

Could you post some closeup pictures of the area between his/her legs? Looking for pores is the best way to sex while they're still young, as it can take a while for the hemipenal bulge to develop on males.

Looks just like mine! I think mine may be a girl so far, but my son named it Rex. Kinda plain, I was hoping he'd think of something creative!
Very nice looking! Look up pet names online, that helped me name all my other pets!

Oh man, I know. I don't know how I'd get a picture of that area without terrifying her though
Hmm that and the flash on my camera is very bright, might make it hard to see

You can try taking a picture through the wall of your kritter keeper (if the walls are clean- mine do tend to have water spots all over them lol)

Hmmmm I will try. She hardly climbs up them though. She tends to only like climbing the leaves and fake bamboo

Look for pores above the vent, think of them like scales with holes in them. There should be a row of them if "it" is a male.
