Can someone post some pictures of male/female comparisson or give some tips and links on good care sheet. I got one pair and wanted to check if they are male and female, but they are not adults, so it is a bit difficult, so some tips. Do males have visible bulges, because I can not see them clearly as i can on some P.pictus or Fat-tail geckos.

Thanks in advance!

Are females bigger than males from same clutch? I got what is supposed to be a pair, I separated them, but they are not adults I think.

One that I think is male is about 5-6 cm body length and have something like bulges, they are small yet, and the other one is a bit bigger and larger in appereance about 7 cm body lenth, this one doesn't have anything similar to bulges so I am almost sure that it is female.

Thanks in advance, any help is appriciated!

You can never tell if a female gecko is female for sure till she is adult. Once a fan foot gets an obvious bulge at any age I'd say its a male.

You'll know when their 10-12 months old.
