An adult female crested gecko is usually bigger than a male due to the calcium and fat reserves required to last the breeding season. During the mating season, females will usually cut down on the amount of feedings due to stress. A female is usually not fit to breed until 45+ grams. A male, who is not required to bear eggs, will only need to weigh in around 35+grams. Although males are smaller than females, the size comparison should not be too great of a difference. Much smaller males can sometimes be bullied or picked on.
