About how old is a gecko that weighs 23 grams and could you tell the sex at this age visibly?

It's kind of hard to tell by weight because different geckos are likely going to weigh different amounts at the same age. But if I had to guess, I'd say maaaybe two, three months old or thereabouts?

You can take a look and see if you can spot the pores or bulges but it will probably be a while before you can tell 100%.

Thanks, I was guessing 2-3 myself, but wasn't sure.

And soooo faaar I don't see anything at all down there...i would have to say female for sure by the looks of it -now-, but if stuff might show up later then...lol

Some females have dimpled scales in that area in a V shape (or stand out), so that can be misleading. It can also be noticeable before 6 months. 25g is pretty small for the average 6 month old. Just my .02. :)

I can get a picture sometime soon if you want it...I am going to guess this is going to be female, but again I can't be 100% sure...there are small indents in a v-shape, but it's the female white indents that are just dimples so far. I don't know if this changes?? But if I had to guess now at 23g I'd say female. There are no bulges at all either.
