Is it ok to keep the male with your females year round and still get eggs?? I have heard yes and know! Thanks bunches

I would say no ,
i belive it would put to much stress on your female gecko's

I have two groups that I have kept that way for years without ever having a problem. Of course this is anecdotal and it all depends on the geckos and chance. I would also suggest that space, food, and temp are important as well. I don't try to overbreed mine and keep them on a normal cycle which gets me about 3-7 clutches per female with 1 male and 2-3 females being kept together in large sweater boxes. I never observe any breeding other than about 2 months in the spring each year and I keep a constant supply of food available (gut loaded mealworms and the occasional lobster roach).

Of course, it is always better to be safe than sorry, but like I said, it's never been an issue for me.
