Look through this forum....Last week pictures were posted of both male and female.
Males have pre-anal pores in a V formation. They are slightly raised, and a waxy material somtimes can be seen in the middle of these pores, of sexually mature males.
Females do not have these

qtpy, he's in the leopard gecko forum so I think he wants to know how to sex leos ;)

Females will often have pores but they aren't as noticable as the pores on a male. They also have bulges but they aren't as big as the bulges on a male. The best way to sex a leo I find is if you have a male the same size as the leo you're trying to sex because then you can compare them... but you may not always have a mature male on hand ;)

On the males, I noticed that the pores are usually a darkish colour while the pores on a female are the same colour as her belly..

Hope this helps!!
