Here is a picture I wanted to share of my little agricolae. Very neat species! They have loads of attidude for their size! hehe
At what age do you guys consider them mature? As soon as I figure the sex of this little guy, I'll be wanting another one. I'd really like to breed them.
The little guy/girl looks like he/she is doing great! I'd assume as with most species maturity is around 12-18 months, though of course I'm not 100% sure for this species as I don't have any...ATM.. . Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in. Good luck on finding him/her a mate! Baby E.Argricolae are too cute!
I'd wait till they are at least! 18 months old. I personally prefer to introduce animals after their second winter. (Which makes them close to 2 years and 4 or 5 months old)
Female weight between 12 and 14 grams.
I'd agree that it's a female. As was already mentioned, the pores show very early and are very obvious on this species. Unfortunately, I know all to well, as I hatched out 3 last year and they were all males LOL.

Truthfully, I've never really tried that young. When I finally did get around to checking, I was quite shocked at how obvious they were. Probably could have successfully checked much earlier.
Thanks for all the comments and response to my questions.
Derek, I also really like that picture! But I always find it quite impressive that he was almost twice as small when I got him....:shock:
EDIT: I was curious and took some measurement. The following picture is him 9 days after arriving here. The blue line represents 1 cm based on the ledge being 7 mm. So using that, the geckos SVL is around 4 - 4.5 cm..... Soooo Small!!!! hehe
