Ok my leos are 5" and 5.5" in length. what do you think their relative ages are?
when i got them they were 3.5" & 4" and i was told they were about 3-5 weeks, well that was back around the end of june early july and I was just curious if with this size there would be a more exact time frame for the age and how much longer do you think it will be before I can sex them?

How does one sex baby leos exactly anyway? I know to look for the pores and bulges but not actually having seen sexed leos at this age (or any really) it is hard to know where exactly to draw the line from one to the other...

Thanks for your help!

I would think u could sex them now, if not then very soon. If either one is a male u will soon have obvious bulges developing. Based on the sizes, the ages seem pretty accurate to me. I have one that was hatched May 18, and she is around 5.5 to 6 inches. And I believe about 25 grams in weight.

I don't have a way to weigh my geckos... where do you get a scale?

I will guess then that their birthdays are about the same to about a week after your leo's?

I looked at them and i can see the pores but they are pink on both of them and there are small bulges after their vents but both geckos look about the same... so I am guessing they are both female then?

Here is a pic where you can see the bulge on amazon...
