Sexing house geckos

[snakehunter]

I have been asked to explain how to sex a house gecko. I find it is about the same as a leo, but with some minor differences.

First thing is check past the anus, my two males have two large bulges. Much like leos, males will have bulges and females will not.

Second part is before the anus, mine have what look like pores, I am not sure whether they are or arenot, but they are quite noticable, and look like a sweeping pattern of the scales in between the hind legs.






This is just from my personal experience, if anyone has better info, or my info is wrong please dont hesitate to say so. Thanx

Thanks, Ive got a male and female, I was pretty sure of it because of the color differential anyways but I wasnt sure if that was the most accurate way of telling. It's good to be sure though.

I dont think color has anything to do with sex. One of the males is usually a lit tan, wheat/yellow color, while the other remains darks, almost axanthic maybe.
