Question Gecko sexing!

This gecko (George) was sold to me in April as a male. "He" has yet to develop a noticable bulge.

Any help sexing would be greatly appreciated!

Male. I see a row of pores on the right (left back leg). The bulge will develop more over time.

How big is he ? weight wise ?

I ask as I have 3 baby gecko's, born April 2011, from about 16g it was easy to tell the males.

They are now 20g & no mistaking them boy's.

Different gecko's, will grow at different rates, but genneraly you should know by 6 months.

Girls can sometimes have sudo-pores (not sure what they look like), but either your little guy is small or a late developer.

I myself cannot see any pores (black on the left back leg, look like colour markings to me) & no bulge, if over 16g, then I'd say Girl.

I'm not sure how much he/she weighs, but I just bought some scales and will find out when I get some batteries!

By the time they were that weight, mine had more of a bulge.

How did the person you bought him from, sex him ?

I'd give it more time, I'm pretty new to cresties (6 months), but he still looks like a girl to me. (I could be wrong & knowing me I am )

I know a uk forum, I could post pic's & ask them too ? If you would like ?

If it's reptileforums.co.uk, I already posted there and they all said female lol

I have no idea how the guy I got him from sexed him, he just told me it was male. It was my first gecko, and he gave me no advice on how to look after him and made me buy a load of stuff I didn't need

I'm thinking male... I am pretty sure there are pores on the 3rd white row up in the center. I'm a newbie at sexing though.

Yeah it was & I've seen your post/answers.

I think more weight & time will tell. Sorry.

I have been staring hard & now think I can see what people are saying pores, but just a few. My boys, had a more clear line of them.
