Can someone hook me up with pics to help sex Pictus Geckos? I have six - two adults, one male and one female (I only know this because one laid eggs, although I didn't find them soon enough and they squashed them.) The other four are seperate and I want to make sure they are all female before I put them with the first pair, but I can't tell the difference. I've tried comparing them to the male and am still having trouble telling because the male doesn't seem to have very obvious bulges so I'm not sure what I'm comparing.

Thanks!

:~) Kelly

Sorry, haven't got photo's...

Pictus geckos are easy to sex. Males should have a very pronounced bulge.
Can you post pictures of your animals?

Is it obvious like on the Dune Geckos or Cresties? The one that I thought was male doesn't have a pronounced bulge at all, although his head is bigger. Maybe the female "he" is with is just laying infertile eggs... hmmm... I have top-view pics in my photo album. I can try to get underside pics later...

topview might even do, with some males you can sexe them from the top view :D

Maybe they aren't old enough to sex accuretly yet? I got the first pair (in the pics below in mid-April and they've grown since I've gotten them but I don't know that they were babies then; they are about 4.5" now). I found what I thought was one squashed egg in their enclosure a couple of weeks ago so I thought they were a bit older, and I really thought Bjork is gravid again but maybe she's just fat???

Trent, the one I thought was male:




Bjork:



ETA: depending on what the verdict is on these two, I'll post the other four younger ones later.

they could both be female, at that size you should already see very big bulches.
i wanted to show you a picture, but photobucket is under maintenance now, so i will show you later today.

If they are all females (what luck would that be!!!), I want to house them all together, since I've had the first pair for three months, and the younger four for two months.

How are they for space - is more space scary? I currently have each group in a 20L. Is that enough or would the do better together in a 40BR? Will the amount of space make it hard for them to find food, stress them out, etc? They seem like pretty bold little things, LOL!

this is a male

Wow, what luck to end up with six females!

Look female to me!
