I would say male as well. The pores are visible and there is a hemipenal bulge.

That looks like a girl because the bulges are quite small for a yearling but if you take a pic while its lying down and lift its tail then I could tell 100%.

I'm on the male bandwagon.
Only one of my males has really defined bulges.
The rest look like the pic.
I'm not 100% sure so don't quote my on this one.

I do think that its a female but I cant be 100% unless I can see it from a better angle. All of my males have large bulges so mabey its just me but it looks like a female. ChristinaM most males dont develop large hemipenes until they are about 10 months old you may be able to see them but I have found that they grow considerably larger after 10-12 months.

My guess is also female. I've got a few females with small bulges and clearly visible pores. All my female blizzards looked like males, and were treated as such until I found eggs... from each one  If your leo is around a year old, a male would should have functional pores- that waxy goop should be easily visible by now. He'd most likely also be more developed in the 'family jewels' department.

Thanks Matt, my males are all about the same age actually
Me thinks just like humans, some males have bigger bulges than others 
* note, I did not claim 100% on the sex. But I do see male qualities in this gecko. So, take it for what its worth. I'm used to seeing gecko's have sex changes. One min. you swear its male, next thing you know, it's laying eggies LOL.

wow it seems that even the board is having trouble deciding on a sex... I feel much better now. And I was thinking about something while reading these posts... Amazon has been kept in a tank with 2 known females with no eggs at all... does that push more towards the female side or small male side? Also the pores aren't really brown like the ones i see on my known male who is a lot younger.
If need be I can take more pictures, just let me know.
Thanks for the help!
