males have bulges at the base of their tail if you look at the underside, and they also have a distinct little row of bumps in between their back legs.
females have no tail bulge, and little to no bumps.
show a pic of its underside if you want help.

is the gecko older then 6 months, do you know?
the picture is kind of fuzzy, but my guess would be it's a girl.
unless it's a male under 6 months, in which it's hard to tell sex.

Or depending on the size of the Leo to put it into as basic language as possible, if they have a hefty set of knackers, then it's gonna be male. :D
Shall try to get a pic of my male in a sec.

In the pics you can just about see the femoral pores which sort of join the rear legs together like littler perforations.
You can also clearly see it's family jewels. :D
