Hard to say what sex it is without first knowing species and age. Looks like klemmeri? How old is it?

An overwhelming majority of phelsuma available are usually female because this genus is temperature sex dependent. Many breeders will incubate eggs at lower temps to reduce the odds of having to house multiple juvie males together.

If your klemmeri is an adult, it looks female to me. Males of several phelsuma sp. tend to have an orange/yellow crotch with waxy secretions coming from the femoral pores.

Never occurred to me it might be more than one gecko! Agree with your thoughts though.

The Breeder I bought them from had the tank set up with the first pic shown and third pic shown geckos inside so I knew I was getting two when I
Got home and too closer inspection I found gecko#2(well call me the order from top to bottom) hiding in the corner to my amazement I bought three for the price of two I'm not sure if she even knew there was a third gold dust gecko in her cage anywho gecko #1 is the only one out of the three that has a definite yellow coloration. Gecko#1,3 were born may 27th 2011 I have no idea where gecko #2 fits in

Hey, #1 looks male for sure. I kindof think 2 and 3 might be as well. My females don't seem to have any pores like the ones in your photos.

As far as gold dusts go, I have hatched a bunch of girls out and after about 2 months old they HATE each other. Suprised they have all gotten along so far
