I bought this gecko being iffy on the sex...hoping for girl but whatever. lol. Anyways when I shine a light through my other confirmed male I can clearly see the sex organs....when I do the same to this one, there is nothing there like on my other male. Yet you can see a line of pores and a buldge but I am new at this and have no other Golden Geckos to compare to aside from male.

That is a lovely female by the looks of it (assuming the animal pictured is of adult size). Male <i>Gekko ulikovski</i> typically have enlarges cloacal spurs and more obvious bulges. I've also noticed more pronounced preanal pores as well as increased yellow around the pores with males.

Best wishes :)

I'll second that Jon, looks like a girl to me too.

Thanks guys! Like I mentioned, when I shine a light through it there are not any visible sex organs, but with my confirmed male they are obvious when a light is behind him. :)
