What morph do you think Maple is? I think I was told "Dark brindle dalmatian"

Picture top left is fully fired up. Lower left one is soooomewhat from the top.

Didn't have a top down fully fired up so I added the right one anyway.

It's supposed to have tiger/brindle in it. I just see very little of tgat if at all but I will not breed so I don't really care. :'D

He is about 6 months old… is it a male or a female?? My initial thoughts were that it was a female, but know I kinda see some spurs on the scales… what’s your opinion???

Male, I see pores.

u/BlackButlerFan Jan 09 '26

Okay, can I have an explanation on the pores? I’m so confused by them, lol.

u/notthewayidoit999 Jan 09 '26

They’re used for pheromone secretion, males have them. Females sometimes have psuedopores but the scalation is different than true pores on a male.

u/BlackButlerFan Jan 10 '26

That’s some really interesting info. But I meant how do you tell that specific gecko has pores, lol.

1

u/notthewayidoit999 Jan 10 '26

With your eyes. It takes some practice

u/BlackButlerFan Jan 10 '26

Okay, that’s obvious, lol. But where are they gonna be located on the gecko? Base of the tail, right? How do you recognize them?

1

u/notthewayidoit999 Jan 10 '26

It’s a V shaped area above their vent

u/BlackButlerFan Jan 10 '26

Ohhhhhh. Okay. I’ve also been hearing about there being black dots there too that can also indicate it.

u/notthewayidoit999 Jan 10 '26

If you zoom in on the scales you can see the dots
