Sexable weight for garg?

[Terradas]

What weight can you accurately sex a gargoyle?

My new (tailless) little guy is 7g and it looks like he has several rows of OBVIOUS pores (no loupe, but i can see lots of pores!).

I know it can be tricky to sex these guys in general, but at this size and these signs is it possible to know for sure already?

i have more trouble sexing the younger garg's then cresteds. the retic's with the pattern can be a pain. at 7 grams, i would still suggest a loupe.

Well it's a retic and there's really no need for a loupe because there are definitely pores, I just didn't realize you could sex a garg that small!

I guess Andrew Dillpin over at Repashy says it's actually easier to sex them when they're younger. Makes sense because I was convinced my subadult female with pseudo pores was a male for the longest time, no bulge though.

Females can actually get the dots the same as males, so unless you look at it through a loupe, I wouldn't say it's a male yet.  They can be fairly hard to sex because of this.  You have to look at see if they are actually pores, or if they are just little dimples.

Even at this young age the pores I see are DISTINCTLY different from the pseudo-pores my female has.

I'll see if I can get a picture tonight, the little guy is usually pretty calm because he must think I only take him out to feed him!

No luck with the pics, my camera is just not cooperating!!

However, I was able to count FIVE distinct rows of pores with no loupe on this 7g gecko!
