Golden guesses???

I know that the pic sucks. But it's what the current owner sent me. I'm looking for a female but thinking it looks like a male. Opinions?

oopps, forgot the pic!

I'm inclined to say male. Unless that camera or picture has the power to add adornments to a body, I'd say it's obviously a male.

Thanks Hilde, just wanted to confirm that I wasn't seeing things!

100% male. Female ulikovskii never have tubercle scales at the tail base.
In most Gekko species, these tubercles are smaller in females and more prominent in males but in ulikovskii, they are virtually absent in females.

Thanks guys. One of these days I'll come across a female. I adopted a male last year and he's really quite a cool gecko. So I wouldn't mind breeding him. But I haven't had much luck finding an appropriate female.
