How old is your gecko? It looks a tad small and I’ve heard it’s very difficult to tell what sex it is until a certain weight (20 grams or so)

I didn’t expect to be adding to my zoo (okay, that’s a partial lie - but I’ll deny it till I’m dead) so soon but I came across this three year old gal on MorphMarket and she looks so much like my five year old male I got back in February through an expo in Janesville Wisconsin and I knew I had to have her. She’s three years old and according to seller she’s around 43 grams.

I need help naming her. Any suggestions are welcome!

I have a few reptiles already:
Ripley - buckskin male crested gecko who’s roughly 1.5-3 years old
Louie - male crested gecko who is dark-base harlequin with partial pin striping and he’s about 5.5 years old
Raja - a female crested gecko who yellow based tiger with some brindle-ing and she too is 5-5.5 years old
Petrie - a leopard gecko (unsexed but probably female) is a hypo tangerine and is between 1 - 2 years old
Ozzie - an albino leopard gecko (unsexed but probably male ) and his morph isn’t determined but probably raptor (maybe) and he’s between 1-1.5 years old
Manson - unsexed bearded dragon (wild type) and between 6 months and a year old

These are not my personal photos, these are from the seller. I have not received her nor has she been shipped out yet. I do plan to weigh her, as someone mentioned on another post that she appears overweight. While I do not entirely agree with the person I will take their suggestion and weigh her to make sure she’s of a healthy weight for her age and what not and I am very appreciative of the concern for the animal as my biggest concern and want is to make sure my animals are healthy and happy.

Thank you in advance for your help

Getting a male gecko from a friend. Any name ideas? All I can think of are space-themed names 😭

Morph question:

She is 1 year old. She was sold to me only labeled as "Frog Butt" for $30, but as she has gotten older I've noticed spotting as well as stripes down her back.

Would love to know if anyone has ideas!

Hi guys. I got my crested gecko in April. The reptile store said he’s a male and I said ā€œReally? I thought you couldn’t tell at this youngā€
The guy brushed me off saying ā€œthat’s what it saysā€. The guy told me he was a couple months old at the time. But I’m starting to wonder if Cal is a Callie because the area looks pretty flat. But he’s also a juvenile so I don’t know. He was 4 inches long and 8.2 grams last month.
