I'm not new to reptile keeping, but somewhat new to Leopard Geckos and have never bred them before. I've had my male tangerine for 8 months. He is about 7 1/2 inches long and 70 grams. I just got the female high yellow two weeks ago. She is about 6 in long and 52 grams. They both eagerly eat crickets, mealworms, superworms and an occasional waxworm.
First question: Although I live in Florida and it is always warm, I thought we are well past the Leos' breeding season. Can they still produce fertile eggs?
Second: How long from this witnissed mating 'til actual egg laying?
Third: How do I make a simple egg incubator? Can I just take a styrofoam cooler and place a low wattage bulb inside to keep the temp at around 85 degrees, or do I need something more sophisticated? Do eggs need different day and night temps?
Finally: What can I expect from a tangerine/high yellow cross?
All responses will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Bob
