African Fat Tailed Gecko Sexing Help Needed (Pics)

[i pee in the sea]

My gecko is about 7-8 months old from what I understand,

Got it 3 months ago at 4", it's 7" now.

I 'think' it's a male because of those bulges, but still not sure if they qualify as legitimate bulges.

Also, the lack of the v-pattern anal pores are throwing me off, although it may be too young to show that.

Help?

I'm gonna say female or immature male?

female

man i was hoping for a male,
i guess the name now has to be changed from Gecko Boy to Gecko Girl.

I don't know about you but it looks male to me. Males have bulges at the base of the tail, and I see 2 bulges.

It looks like a young male to me. But I'm surprised it doesn't have femoral pores for the age it is. Maybe I just can't see them because the pic is fuzzy.

It's not just the pic, he/she is not really showing the preanal pore patterns.
I know they would typically show around 6-7 months, but I think mine is a bit older than that.

Those bulges actually became quite noticeable as of recently after the last shed.

So far 2 females and 2 males, as you can see why I was confused myself. Still am to be honest.

Hoping a gecko expert will be able to tell with certainty.

Maybe by the next shed it will become more evident?

I see no pores........But you need clearer pictures........I'm leaning towards Female though........

Agreed. The lack of patience is a bad trait..

I think it's a developing male, after some examinations.
