How much do the males and females need to weigh before breeding them?
During the cooling period, what should the temps be?

Last but not least; if I want to temp sex all the eggs for female what temp do I need to incubate them at?

Thanks for all the help!

err...i find 50-60 to be good...also i would put the enclosure/tank in a dark area...little to no light...i have a big piece of black cloth that i cover my tank with...seems to work well

i believe it is 80-82F...but not that i have anything against female leopards...but THEY TAKE SOO DANG LONG TO HATCH ARGH....so prepare for a torturous wait....but other than that...its great fun to breed leopards!
