Question
I have an Albino Temper Leopard Gecko that is probably three or four months old.  How can I tell if it's a male or female?

Answer
 Check beneath the tail just below the vent.  Males will have a noticeable bulge where females will have none, or just a tiny bulge.  Also on a male the row of femoral pores (a line of dots across the vent area) will become larger and darker, where the females will be barely noticeable.
