Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Question regarding Crested gecko sex
Hi, a month ago I traded some Dart frogs for 4 Crested Gecko's and I think the female my be a male. I traded with the intent to sell these animals to recover the money I put into the frogs and I don't want to be considered dishonest if I should sell the animals! I was told mature females have small round bulges and small spurs while males have very large Hemipenal bulge and large spurs! I have someone interested in "this Female" however I'm not %100 confident it is one!

That's a pretty clear bulge. Although I HAVE seen females with large bulges as well that I would have thought were male. The best way to sex is a crested gecko is using a Loupe and looking for pores underneath.

No pores at all and the bulge is no where near as large as the known males of the same size! LOL I'm confused!

How many grams is this gecko?
If you see no pores, than I'd say female but hard to say without seeing.

I know for sure it is now, I gently popped the hemipenis out like I do for snakes, disappointing though, males are harder to sell then females  He's a beauty though!

agree with Noelle , that's a male and just yesterday a breeder had a gecko drop a sack at 30 grams so weight is subjective when sexing is involved.
