You can't tell that just by looking at it. How much does it weigh? Could be a gt x henkeli cross or something, if you want to know you have to ask around and find out its lineage. Until you find out anything else, it is an unknown. But it's beautiful anyhow, nice clear white blotches :)

At what age/weight are leachies generally sexable?

Some are more difficult than others, but sometimes pores can be seen shortly after hatching if you'r using enough magnification. With a 30x lighted loupe, you should be able to see pores by a few months old. Of course, there is something of a learning curve and having an animal or two the end up being female isn't going to refine your abilities one bit. It's the males that are identifiable, females just look enigmatic since you'll be looking for pores. It's one of those things where you just have to see them, then a light bulb will turn on in your head.

It is a male, but I would doubt it is a GT. If it is, real small for a 2 year old, as well as the tail base, and head looking wrong. Colors and pattern are also not what would be common for a GT locality. Take a picture of the head straight down from the top. The snout makes me think there is a chance it at least has Isle E in it.

As for sexing, at around 80-100 grams, you can see it with the naked eye. With magnification, I have seen geckos as small as 7-10 grams sexed correctly.
