I am new to leopard Gex. I would like to start a small breeding colony. Can someone tell me what are the breeding ages, best substrate, the temperatures used to temperature sex, and laying humidity.

Thank you,
Danny

give females a year, to be absolutly sure, and males about 8 months. the best substrate, in my opinion, and most others, is paper towels. temps to sex are like this, 80-83 for mostly females, 84-86 for both, and 87-90 for mostly males. i think that 89-90 will give you 100% males. the laying humidity, doesnt need to be too precise, just make it humid, lol. thats what i do, its worked for 3 years.

Danny,
IMO, more research should be done before starting. There is a lot to know. Please, for the benefit of the leo's..do your homework before you start.
Just my opinion.
Thanks

Belive me I couldn't agree with you more. For the last couple of days that all I have been doing. I keep turtles and tortoise and before I take on a new species I always look up care sheets and such, or talk to experienced friends, but since I know, no one knowlegable to talk to I posted her for more information.

Thanks for the Opinion,
Danny
