    Female with "hemipen buldges" ???

    I have noticed my female bell stripe getting larger hemipen buldges. But there are no visual pre anal pores. She is still little yet, but I was wondering anyone's thoughts on this? I have included a pic of her vent area, any insight would be awesome!! Thanks in advance

    Females do have a very slight bulge, but not like that. How old is this gecko? The bulges look rather large for a gecko of that size either way, just going by the size of the hand that is holding it for reference (but maybe an early bloomer?). Can you get a better close up on the pre-anal pore area? You can loupe sex a leo accurately at 3-4 weeks of age, but it takes longer to be able to see the pores without magnification.

    I will double check with whom I got her from on her age. And I will do my best at getting a better pic of the pre anal pore area.

    Could be a "hot" female. Most likely a male though.
