I have one male normal leopard gecko right now, in a 70 gallon enclosure (36"x18"x25", and I was thinking about the possibility of getting him a female cagemate. Of course I would like them to breed and produce offspring, but I was wondering if it is actually okay with leopard geckos to keep a male and female together all year round. I know with some species there is concern with doing this.



Also, what should I know if I want to breed leopard geckos? In the end, I would like to have all of the reptiles I keep breeding (which by the time that happens, will probably be leopard geckos, russian tortoises, uromastyx, and ball pythons...all of which I own now, just not in pairs). The goal isn't to turn a profit. I would actually just like to be able to use the money to pay for the expenses. Kind of like owning reptiles for free. But mostly I kind of want my reptiles to go through their natural life cycles.



The things I am most confused about with all of this are, how do I sell the babies? Since I would rather only breed in pairs and not trios, I shouldn't have too many to deal with, but where exactly do I find buyers for baby reptiles? Actually...that's the main question I had.



Thanks in advance.
