Sex this gecko

[marisa]

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.

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.
