It sounds to me like the male just wants a little bit of loving... although it's hard to understand your posts. I wouldn't worry unless they really go at each other and are rolling around the cage.. Just keep an eye on them.

Of course, if you just got the male he really should have been quarentined for at least a month (or 3 months is even better), before you introduced them.

Get the female out of the tank now! If she's too young to reproduce she shouldn't be with a male...besides the fact that that probably also means that she's too small the be kept with adult leos anyway. GET HER OUT OF THAT TANK!!!

my good friend thanx alot but i had called the owner that i bout the leo off of and he said that is normal to happen and i have bout my first geko from him ! and he isnt a full grown adult yet and either is the female so i think they r very close to the same siz the female isnt as long as the male but it should even out in just a little bit i went out to eat came back and the male is out kissing the female as i am typeing this to you

I would still get her out...She will breed when she is too small and that can very easily lead to her becoming eggbound, and possibly her death. If the male is too young as well, then he could end up with his hemipenes "stuck out" (hehe...I forget the technical term...lol), which could lead to them falling off and infertility. I seriously doubt you want that. Also...it really doesn't matter that you got her from the same breeder as the male, she should still be quarantined. Who know what has happened at his facility since you got the male, and you may not find out about any diseases that the female got introduced to for 2 or 3 months...which is why you need to quarantine. If she is in fact incubating an illness, then both her and the male will end up sick...rather than just her. That would double any vet bills you get, and could lead to the loss of both animals. And again....I seriously doubt you want that.

If you just got the female you NEED to quarantine her for 3 months (2 months absolutely minimum).

Don't breed her! I agreed with StinaUIU. Just wait till she hits 55g or more.
