Yeah, especially if they're particularily hungry. It just means it's excited, basically

Everytime I feed my leos, the male will usually eat last. But when the other eat, he rattles his tail and attempts to mate with all the ladies. I don't know why he associates feeding time with mating, but he is always attempting to mate when it's time to eat. Nine times out of ten, the girl will give a little nip back and continue eating. Typical woman! j/k

Typical male hehehehehe j/k. Poor gals can't even get in a meal without being bombarded by the male.....awwwwwwwwwww lol.

Its weird that he would do that. Maybe he thinks that since they are distracted he could make his moves... Does he go after them any other time? and has he gotten any bad bites?

I'm hoping to breed two of my geckos next year. I'm very interested to see how they react to eachother. None of my geckos can see eachother but i don't know if they can tell there are others around by smell or not.

for the most part, they are very gentle with eachother. My two sisters, the first pair I got from the same place, will usually nip eachother when one steals the other's cricket. It's funny, there will be like 40 some crickets in there, they will both start wagging their tail eyeing uo the same one, and then they shoot eachoter evil little looks when the other gets it first. I've actually seen them take crickets that were halfway in the other's mouth. Typical siblings. As for him, he will usually attempt to breed right after I clean out their cage and put them back in. Other than that, he may go at them at night when I don't see them, but i'm not too sure.
