Ok, Im a zoology teacher, and unless Ive been lieing to my kids the last 7 years, someone explain this. I recieved a gecko, it was labled male. I checked underneath, it has the hemipenal bulges, but no pores. It accidentally spent the night with a known male, this one is definately a male. I separated them immediately, and 2-3 weeks later, he/she pops out an egg.

Ok heres my question. What the hecks going on. Can a female have an enlarged hemipenal area?

Thanks

Jeff
