it's a posibility that it wont mate because when it was incubated as an egg it was hatched at a high temperature and high temp babies are known to be poor or not breed at all

The simplest answer is that you missed it. The geckos are active at night, and will probably mate then. It is getting later in the breeding season also, but I believe their is still plenty of time. Just be patient. Check females for eggs every couple of weeks. If they go all summer with none of the 3 females getting pregnant, I'd go with a different male.

Good Luck and Be PATIENT

ps

A little Barry White, and some champagne might get them in the mood..
