Q:How do I tell what sex my Leopard gecko is?
A:Turn your leopard gecko over and look for femoral pores in the area before the vent. Females have reduced femoral pores, mature males have enlarged femoral pores. Males also have hemipenal bulges after the vent, females have a "coke bottle" tail (indented where hemipenes are absent). The leopard gecko is sexable at about three months, but sexing takes experience so keep looking and ask an experienced herper (one who keeps reptiles and or amphibians) for help.
Q:Do Leopard geckos need companions?
A:After keeping leopard geckos for many years I have observed the following: Leopard geckos kept with another leopard gecko of compatible sex (no two males) and weight (should be similar in size) sit together and interact, making the leopard gecko pet experience more enjoyable for themselves and their human owners. Leopard geckos should not be mixed with other species of geckos, read more about that here: Mixing herps
