Male maturity

goalielocks Jul 13, 2003 04:54 PM

I have read that when younger geckos breed it often causes health problems for the female. I have never heard of a problem with males. I already have an adult normal female and am purchasing a young jungle albino male. After quarentine how long should I wait before introducing him to the female.

Most males will be sexually mature around 9 months, when mine was 8 months I saw him licking himself so a week later I introduced my female and he went right after her as you can see in the pic below. I currently have 6 fertile eggs incubating and I am expecting 2 more on wednesday, my female has been laying every 2 weeks to the day.
