Sexing and Characteristics: | There is little visible sexual difference between male and female leopard geckos. The male seems to have a broader head and neck than the female and their body is usually somewhat larger. However, looking at the undersides, adult males have a prominent V-shaped row of pre-anal pores while the pre-anal pores of the female are barely noticeable. Adult males also have hemipenile swellings and a wider tail base. at full maturity, adult males can be 9-12 inches in length, and females are somewhere between 7-9 inches. |

no sand or particle substrate im my opinion is good for them. |
