While an older male may not be as productive, he should give you some offspring. Pair him with a young female for best results. We would pair him with a second year female. Good luck!

if you're sure it's a male, then i think he could still be bred a few times (though be aware that breeding anything, especially at that age, could shorten its lifespan a bit, though he'd probably be thrilled, hehe). if it's a female, i wouldn't try and breed her. it would probably stress her out a lot, especially if she's never been housed with another gecko, in addition to the physical toll and likelihood of infertility. so, check for hemipenes (bulges) & a dark-ish v on the underside of its tail (yes for both equals male).
