Sexing my cresties, help me

Sexing my cresties.

I have no idea.

Can you tell me

Rhaco 1

[Firenze]

rhaco 2...

male or female?

[DragnDrop]

How old are they, and roughly how long? It's hard to accurately sex them too young, so knowing the age and length will help.

[Firenze]

They are 7/8 months old

and they are almost 18 centimeters

You just have to wait for balls to drop... (or not) whichever the case may be.

Should happen between 8 and 12 months once they reach almost full size.

Hi there Firenze, it is very hard to know untill its obvious with newts.
What do you feed them?

[Firenze]

I feed them crickets with supplements

also extra calcium..stands in the enclosure

I give them 2 crickets in 2 days each, because they don't wanna eat more. Somethimes they even don't eat the 2 crickets both in 2 days. But they are grown very well.

Ones a week a give them babyfood(banana)

Thats what I feed them

The slight "swelling" in rhaco 1 could be the start of a male maturing ..but no guarantees ... as for #2, too hard to tell ... a couple of my adult females dont even have a little bump at the base.... so its too early yet... hopefully you have a pair ...assuming you want a pair

Sex determination in Crested Geckos is a fairly simple procedure. As the species reach the age of 4-6 months, they begin reaching sexual maturity, and the males develop obvious hemipenile bulges at the base of the tail.The inexperienced keeper must use caution in judging the sex of juvenile Crested Geckos. Young individuals can appear as females, and almost overnight, develop the obvious hemepinile bulges characteristic of a male. Experienced keepers can manually evert the hemepine of young males to determine sex.
