Geckogirl, first... stop bumping ancient threads. Second, male geckos are known by their golden coloration while females are known for a more olive-brown color. Most golden geckos sold in petstores and at shows are male. Females are rare and are almost always 4 to 8 times the price of the male (if a male is 10 bucks, a female is between 40 and 80 bucks).

Even then, both genders, when stressed, will turn a dark brown.

And even blatantly telling you all of this obvious information, you cannot tell what gender hte gecko is from that angle of picture. To know for sure you need to look at the crotch of the gecko. Males have an open V-vent of dots, a hemipenis (which they will expose to piss on you if you grab them), and a bulge at the base of the tail.

Now please, stop ’correcting’ everyone with incorrect guesswork.

And lastly, since I forgot to put this in my last post, you cannot tell the gender by ’color on the back’. There is absolutely no such thing as some magic ’color of the back’ way of telling the gender of a golden, tokay, marbled, white-tail, or any such gecko of this genus.
