[Chondrodactylus]

Male or female?





Note the small bulges?

Im almost positive it is female though?

they are beutiful

The pairs I had long ago always displayed distinct sexual dimorphism... males had white dorsal spots, females lacked them. Is this true for you?

[ptenopus]

Looks male, but its hard to tell when they are so small. And yeah, the males will have white spots once they are adult size.

Going from a little experience and my first guess, I would say with confidence that that is a male. The bulge is a little divided, and I can see the series of spots going down the body. This is assuming as Tom said, that your animals are c.chondro, and not namibiensis, or from the inter-grade zone.

I see paired spurs on either side of the bulge as well.

Keep us updated and congrats,thats a nice looking gecko!

[Chondrodactylus]

it is Chondrodactylus angliufer.

Thats correct the adults are easily sexually dimorphic but when they are small it is quite difficult i have not referenced it against any of my Chrondro's yet perhaps that is best to do.

Thanks for interest.

[pitrs]

I would say male too.

[ptenopus]

Namibienses is quite a different looking animal, and actually pretty easy to tell apart from angulifer. They are a good deal bigger, and gangly in appearance, with greatly reduced pattern when compared to a typical angulifer, and covered in white tipped tubercles.
