    Sexing babies maybies

    I took a few pore shots of my little baby group (well, 3 out of 4, the smallest one is sooo small i doubt i'd be able to see anything).

    Anyone with more experience want to help a sistah out?

    The first one, i circled what i THINK are pores and am tentatively IDing this one as male.



    These two i see no pores on

    How much do these geckos weigh? I do see what looks like a few pores on the first gecko, but don't see any on the last two--from what I can tell from the photos.

    I think they are still a bit little to tell. Usually they start showing pores around 10g correct?

    #1 seems to be showing pore for sure. Scale dimples can also look similar especially at that size, but it just doesn't look like scale dimples to me.

    Re: Sexing babies maybies

    You can sometimes see pores at 3-4 grams, but you have to have a good loupe and it isn't guaranteed that you will be able to see them at that size--it's just that sometimes you can.

    hello,

    I would guess they are all male, think to see some pores on the other 2 also. but at this weight you really cannot say for sure! really sure you can say with about 15g when kept seperatly all the time.
    best regards, Timo
