I bought this gecko as a probably female and now at about 18 grams I swear I saw shiny scales and pores! Took pictures- and then second guessed myself and took more pictures. Why are they vidible in some and not in others? 
Looking for additional opinions on whether or not this girl is actually a boy.

I have a female with shiny scales, the only definitive way to tell the sex is by pores and/or a bumb, the other things (overlapping scales, shine, and bigger thigh-to-tailroot ratio) are just additional traits that are more common in males. I don’t see anything i would definitively say are pores, the only “pores” i see are too far down, and the thigh-tailroot ratio seems small, so I’d still say it’s a likely female, but things could change

I agree! This is definitely a female, but sometimes they will surprise you when they get older!
