Hello,
I bought 2 crested geckos yesterday. First I would like some help on IDing the morphs. Also, I would maybe like some guesses on ages? And last, I was told that the spotted one was a female and the other one a male...but it looks like the spotted one has a little bulge, not as big as the other one, but it is there. Please help!

It is kinda hard to tell in the photos, but your red bi-color with a few dal spots could very well be a girl. Some girls have a little puffiness, but nothing compared to a male's bulge. It is easier to tell (for adults, sub-adults and some juvies) when they are laying on a flat surface...males you will be able to see a well defined bulge, while girls have a kinda flattened puffy area. Some males when you look straight down over them, their bulge may be visibly sticking out on either side of the tail.

Re: your male's morph, it is kinda hard to tell in the photo, can you get a clearer side shot of him?

I am going to post more pictures tonight. I am going to try to hold them so the light won't be reflecting off of the glass. Thanks for the help so far! I will post more tonight!

the first one looks like a flame, the second looks like a bi-colour dalmation.

Im going to go along with Lee on this one, and say first one looks like a flame, and the second, a bicolor with some dalmation spots (would not go as far as calling her a dalmation though...she doesnt have enough spots to qualify). I think I see a bulge on the flame, so I'd say male, if you can get a clearer shot of the second one, that would be great!


On a side note...do you have any plants and branches/ vines in there? Are they housed together?
