Hi Bryan

One male to three females is good. That way he won't be picking on one female all the time to have sex.

One thing so you won't think that the male is fighting with the female is, during sex the male will nibble on the females tail and work his way up to her neck and that is where he will clamp on to her to hold her in place while he doe's his thing. If she isn't ready, she will nip back at him etc. as her way of saying no. I wanted to tell you this, just so you wouldn't think they were killing each other.

Just for your own piece of mind, ask how old they are, have they ever had to be taken to the vet.?, have the females had any eggs?. You are getting a great deal with all of that plus the geckos.

If you have anymore questions, please ask.

When you get it, post all of the things you got with the tank and the heat source ect.
