A male will have two hemipenal bulges at the base of its tale as well as Femoral Pores on the underside of their thigh and more noticeable V-Shaped Preanal Pores On there belly between their back legs. The biggest give away is the hemipenal bulges. But if your gecko is really young you will not be able to sex it yet.

please do not co-habitate your geckos unless they are fully adult, and a male/female pair only if you intend to breed them and are prepared for offspring.

often times, geckos will breed before they are mature enough to physically handle the strain (in particular the female) and it can have poor health consequences on both the geckos and the offspring. also, it's pretty much impossible to keep them from breeding if they're in the same cage; geckos are pretty lusty!

Aimless said no male/female said nothing about female/female though even females can be aggressive dont assume because youve done it before it will work again. Post a clear pic of your geckos underbelly and maybe we can help

Hello,

Don't forget quarantine please! 90 day is minimum in my experience. I have had reptiles with cryptosporidium which were asymptomatic for years. They can shed oocyst and infect the other without you knowing. So please be careful.

Should female Leo's eventually be bred? I read that they can become egg bound?

There's no need to breed a female. All bred or not bred females can become egg bound. Bred females are more likely to as they lay much more eggs than one that hasn't been bred. The one that isn't bred will usually absorb the eggs.
And, if one did happen to get egg bound a reptile specialist vet can usually just suck them out. Most cases of getting egg bound is due to too little calcium in the diet, and an increase in calcium in the diet can be the trigger needed for her to lay.
