I was wondering if it is not to late or to early in the season to be pairing leos


i have a 55g 6month old hypo female and a 45g tangy bino male

would it be feaseable (sp?):cool: to put them together

thanks

Couldn't tell you. Do leopord geckos have a season like most snakes?

Depends on the geckos. Sometimes they go, sometimes they dont. Personally, I wait until my females are at least a year old before breeding them....

They kinda do but its a very long one.

They usually kick in around Jan-Feb and the female will continue to lay eggs until around August-Sept. This will vary based on your conditions/location. Feb/March to July/August is not uncommon.

Your geckos are of good size but are a tad young. They usually reach sexually maturity at 10-12 months of age. Of course, some will go younger if fed very well but the younger you try the more risk you take of a problem arising.

You may want to give them a few more months before putting them together. Personally, I highly doubt you will have a problem. I keep my geckos together year round. When they are ready, they go. I keep them in small groups of 1.2. Thats it.

However, that being said since this will be the first breeding for the female if you want to be on the cautious side give her another 3 months and put them together late March or thereabouts. Feed them well during this period. Plenty of calcium for the female. I like to give my females pinkies when preparing them for breeding. It pumps them up.

ive tried pinks and they wont touch them

she is a bit older than 6 months more like 8.5 now that i think lol

i keep all mine separatly as i only have 7


Thanks for the info

She is definently big enough. I have produced eggs year round with no problems. It all depends on your geckos. Put them in together and leave them together for a bit to see what happens. If they are ready the male will rattle his tail and start bitting the female until he gets a firm grip of the females neck or rear side of her head. If she has not beaten the hell out of him by this point then the female will raise her tail, and breeding will commence. If fighting does occur seperate, and repeat in a few days. Hope this helps you out in your breeding venture.

Good advise everyone. Jack keep us posted. We like ****.

lol


well i put her with an experianced hi yellow male and they were togehter for an hour and he chased her round for a bit then gave up and he went mad after that climbing the walssof her tub and just trshing the place so i took him out and put him back in his tub
