Julie,
No, you must have me confused with someone else.
I bought this one local. But thanks for the help anyway.
And as for the photo, yea, I will do that tonight. I was
worried I would get flamed by someone as to how I was using this list. I really
like this list and I don't want to mess up a good thing.

Subject: Re: [Gecko] male or
female?
Hi Troy,
I did sell you this gecko, right? We had talked about this offlist and
probably should continue to do so. My apologies if I have you mixed up with
someone else! The gecko in that conversation was much younger though, about 4
months, harder to sex. At nine months you should be able to sex a leopard
gecko fairly easily as both male and female are sexually mature at that age.
Males will start to have "gunk" flowing out of their femoral pores at that
time. Hemipenes will be obvious in males. Some females will also have "bumps"
but no gunk coming out of the pores. How about sending me a photo of the
underside of the gecko or posting one to the list if you have the capability.

I have a leo that is about 9 months old. It was sold to
me as a female but I don't know.
I have a couple of
books that show the preanal pores for males and I have seen a male that
realy resembles those pictures. But my "female" seems to have them if you
look realy close. And as for the bulges at the base of the tale, there seems
to be
slight bumps but nothing like the male I once
saw.
Is there any other things I could do to be
sure what sex they are? If I put her with a male and "she" is actualy a
male, how long before the would fight?
Thanks,
T.D.
