Looks like a nice fat female from here but better pics would really be needed.

If the gecko has white spots it is a male.

Take a look at my photo, female on the left, male on the right.



Also, I should mention your gecko is most likely Chondrodactylus turneri, not P. bibroni. Bibroni are not exported, while turneri are in very large numbers. They are virtually identical.

C. turneri are sexual dimorphic; meaning they have physical characteristics to tell sexes apart. Only males have white spots, female don't. Males are much more robust, bigger heads, bigger bodies. Its hard to see any pre anal pores on these geckos, males do have a visible hemipenal bulge though.
