Hi!
Got three of these almost a year ago as my first lizards. Now,  
there's more of them in the cage so there must be atleast one of each  
sex but I thought it might be time to find out how to sex them? Anyone?

Also, is there a better way of catching them? They're usually much  
faster than me, and I don't dare use too much force with the little  
ones.

I use a clear deli cup to cover one and slip a thin piece of card  
board under.
The males have a very prominent bulge just below the cloaca
Once you see the difference of male and female side by side you will  
be able to know right away. On juveniles it's harder and often not  
reliable until they are mature. The Clear deli cup is handy again!  
You can clearly see the underside with out having to handle the gecko.
