Valor
is rather shy, but quite sweet. When I first got her when she was
only a couple weeks old. She made an adorable hissing squeak when I would
put my hand near. Maybe it was supposed to frighten me away, but she was
so cute it didn't work! Now that she is used to me, Valor will now walk
slowly walk up to my hand and gently climb on when I go to get her from
her tank. Leopard geckos are amazing pets and very beautiful animals! I
love her very much and look forward to seeing her as she grows and matures!
I call her a female, but am not ceratin yet of her gender. Usually at
about four to six months you can determine gender by looking at the gecko's under
side-also called the ventral side, at the area between the two back legs
and just at the base of the tail. A male will form two hemipenal bulges
right at the base of the tail, below the vent and develop a v-shaped row
of pores, called pre-anal pores. They use these pores to scent their
territory and have waxy buildup at these pores. Females don't have the
bulges and the pores are very small in comparison and they do not have the waxy buildup.
