i feel like i haven't posted peach in forever

also.... ya'll see that... bulge...😶? i'm 90% sure peach is actually a male 😶 apparently it's super rare for a parthenogenetic baby to be a male. so not only was it incredibly rare for kiwi to have a parthenogenetic baby, now there's whole other level of rare in the fact that it turned out to be a male gecko.

apparently female geckos have ZW sex chromosomes, and males are ZZ, so it's possible for females to create males without breeding with a male!

#i haven't seen femoral pores though so i'm not 100% convinced yet #i posted this on the crested gecko reddit a few weeks ago asking if its possible that this partho baby is male #and someone accused me of lying and said her mom was probably retaining sperm from being bred in the past and that peach isn't partho #i got kiwi as a 2 month old baby in 2019 so that's literally impossible lol.. like its so rare people dont believe me???#reptiblr #crested gecko #peach #mygeckos #myreptiles
