I have 1.2 leopard geckos, I've had them for a month and they're about 7 months old. They eat a ton, (crickets, mealworms) they seem very happy. My blizzard seems to be hibernating, I am not going to worry to much about her, I check on her everyone once in a while and feed her a little and she doesn't lose weight. My male has completed his second shed and likes to sleep with my other female. What I want to know is if I continue this will I have eggs by the spring or are they still to young?

Thanks,
Owen

General rule is atleast 1yrs old and 50 grams for the females.

i would wait till the end of summer then try it that way it gives them another 6 months of growing and you time to figure out what to do if you end up with 10 babies or more

Readiness to breed is based more on weight than age. The riule of thumb I use is females should be at least 45 grams and over one year old, but if your females are exceptionally fast growing and large , you can breed them if they are 55-65 grams and under one year of age. It really isn't a good idea to keep a male who may be reaching sexual maturity with females who are not of breeding weight yet, because he may mate with her anyway, and if she is not of proper weight breeding could kill her.
