Male/Female won't breed - sterile??

jj1k Aug 17, 2004 07:00 PM

It seems like my 60gram male is not interested in the 49 gram fmela eI introduced about 3 weeks ago.

They just go their seperate ways in the cage. no fighting or mating at all.

Is that normal? Is it maybe that the female is sterile and the male know it?

I think he means cool them down over a couple to four months like winter simulation. The Leopard Gecko usually breeds in the spring of hte year. They know about this time of year based on weather.
