I thought this would be an interesting discussion with folks who have both adult male and female geckos and notice any striking differences between them (besides their pre-anal pores of course).
Some observations of mine: Of course they can be debunked as general gecko behavior: but I am just speculating my observations because I am curious.
Physical:
The male seems to have a broader head and neck than the female.
Looks like the male body is is overall larger then the female.
I think its possible males might have a wider tail base as well.
Behavioral:
Heard my male gecko chirp... female has never made a sound. Gecko calling his lady friend?
Female: more shy and feisty from humans...BITER
Open lid: hides / runs and prefers to be left alone. Unless of course she sees food then its showtime.
Male: more curious and relaxed of human. NOT A BITER
open lid: pops up, walks over, looks at me, "got food?"
Male shows more aggression and power towards prey- stare a second: then immediate launch at food-
Female appears to stare/intimidate/shake tail and enjoy the stalk. Really puts on a show. :biggrin:
one more:
Female gets "full" after feedings, and will refuse a last worm, Male: never ending stomach.
what have you noticed??
