Few Questions About My Juvie

[firecrested]

I Have A Few Questions About This Crested. She's About 3 Inches Not Counting The Tail. Would Anyone Have Any Idea About How Old She Is? And She's Not Showing Any Bulging, What Would The Chances Be That She Will Be Female?
The Last Question Is Would She Be A Dark Fire Or A Dark Harlequin?

1. Not too sure.

2. If it dont have any bulging by the time its about 6 inches(counting the tail) long or is 20 grams, it's probably a female.

3. It's probably a fire because it has some blotches of color but not enough to be a harlequin.

Nice fire, it looks just like mine.

i would give it my best guess that she is between 6-8 mo. depending on how well fed she was

[firecrested]

She Eats Crickets 2-3 Times A Week And Cgd With Baby Food 2-3 Times A Week. I Have 2 Others That I Bought At The Same Time That Are Just A Little Smaller Than This One.

It's not easy to tell by the pictures, a better close-up of the back end would help
I can't honestly guess in this case but did notice the spurs are really obvious in those pictures. It would suggest the spurs are on the large size. Even though it's not a guaranteed way to sex them, large spurs tend to mean male in the majority of geckos I've seen.

At that size I'd start calling it a female but it's never certain until they get a bit bigger. I couldn't really take a good guess at the age (right now I have a juvie thats about 2 months younger and about 5 grams larger than another juvie from the same bloodline). As far a pattern... I'd say a nice fire. Harlequin is mainly based on heavy pattern on the legs in addition to the side pattern.

Either way that's a very nice crested .

So would a harlequin be like the ones with mostly flames on the side with a little of the base color?

I'll get some pictures tomorrow of the back of her.

thanks for everyones help so far
