Morning all!
I am hoping to finally sex my gecko so i can get another to keep it company.
It's two years old now, he does not like being handled, hisses and swirls it's tail in air like it going to whip me with it.
It's always been like this as it is/was wild.
It has claws on its paws on every 3rd & 4rth claw.
Hopefully you can see the pics i provide and can help me out with a sex to it and where i can buy a mate for it in UK so it's not alone. The 3rd pic was taken when i first got it two years ago.
Thank you

I'm by no means very familiar with this species but from what I'm seeing it looks possibly female.
Based on what small research I just did though, I've read that this species can be difficult to sex.

Thank you Yoshi'smum, indeed it can be very tricky. Should have done this years ago. I'm just glad that someone replied with whatever info they have, i am extremely grateful, thank you! ;)

I don't know much about these geckos, but most geckos are not social and do fine alone. If you want another for yourself, that's a different story. I'm surprised that you found this gecko in the wild in Scotland. Is that the case?

Oh well then, looks like staying alone for rest of life for Drogette then.
Aye, seen another type of gecko/lizard at the dunes on the beach last year. Saw it only for a split second before it vanished, only thing I noticed was its size, same as size as mine, over 5"
I do believe Scotland has it's native lizards but that was a first and i have been going to that beach all of my life.
Thanks anyway for your input Aliza ;)

I do know that this species is not native to Scotland, maybe someone abandoned it as i believe that is common here in the UK, I would actually be inclined to believe that.
