They need to be six months old or better before you can tell. Here's a link with pics of both male and female.

Quig is right. The only way to even guess is if you know the breeder and can tell you what temp they were incubated at. Other than that, you have to wait until the males "bulge" starts showing.....

Gotta wait....pick a unisex name so it is good either way.

If its any help most of the larger breeders incubate many more females than males. Since females can be kept in colonies with little to no fighting. So if you got it from a pet shop or a big breeder good chance its female. Just a guess though.

The unisex name is a great idea. Im gonna suggest Bobby. If its female just add an "i" at the end :D

If you go to the link I am supplying you will see adult and baby Leopard Geckos and how to sex them. You are going to need some type of magnifier for the babies. I took those pictures with a Macro lens.

if they are incubated at 86 does that give you all females or males or a combo of the two :yessir:

80 – 82 = Females, 84 – 86 = Mixed, 87 – 90 Males. http://www.albeysreptiles.com/images/thumbsup.gif
