Leo Breeding Project Question

AFTfanatic Mar 09, 2006 10:45 PM

Hi, I've been keeping Leos for the past three years and have just started a small breeding project. I put my Hypo Tang and Tang Albino together a few hours ago. Casper, the female, is about 15 grams bigger than the male. He's been very eager to breed, but she's either gotten away of nipped him. Is she being too aggressive, or is this normal? If it's regular, I'm leaving them together for a week, and come June, will hopefully have some great hatchlings. Thanx for any advice!

My geckos are pretty agressive when they're breeding. The boy grabs the girls, the bite him and try to run away. That goes on for a while before actaul breeding occurs. If she's that much bigger than him, he might just be getting the worst of it.

yeah this is pretty normal, sometimes it takes a few days for her to be in the mood. I would not worry about it unless she is attacking him for no reason, or unless he gets hurt.
