Leos are da bomb

No offense intended with my post, but before I answer, why are you getting into breeding?

Please understand that around here we have dealt with many people thinking to make a quick dollar... not going to happen unless you have the rarest of breeds right now... or people who start to breed "for fun" and don't quite grasp how many geckos you can get from just one breeding as the female can store sperm and lay many, many, clutches.

It is important to understand the responsibility in beginning to breed. Lots of people think they have an outlet for their babies, but end up over their heads with the number of eggs they get. The other side is people keep all they breed and start getting to hoarding numbers and that is concerning for everyone who cares about the species.

Good answer!!! Don't forget the mood music, though. My guys seem to like Barry White, tho BJ (yes his real name, long story...) tends to be more of a Ying Yang Tins kind of guy.

Nah, my friend's male, Kodos, is totally a techno purest. Slip a little electronica or SKA in and he's out of the mood. If there is a lack of female he will dance instead.

Yes, his gecko dances.

Maybe a valentines day gift of waxworms? They've got to be the gecko equivalent of bon bons. Haha.

Put the male in with the female IF SHE IS OVULATING. She will ovulate when she is ready and won't let him breed until she ready. Intoducing him to her before she's ready may cause undue stress on her , because he will only have one thing on him mind.

Once he breeds with her put him back in his house. From there you should get 3-4 viable clutches on average.
