hey i herd that they need to be nearly the same age to breed... and my friend said that if u put them together they will sometimes fight if they do fight wot do u do? do they get used to being in the same home then they wont fight? and one more question how long do they take to lay eggs
They don't have to be the same age to breed...both geckos just need to be sexually mature and at proper weights....for males, this is usually around 8-9 months. Females take longer to reach breeding weights and I recommend they weigh at least 50 grams.....I opt for 55 grams at the very least personally. Sometimes the female isn't interested and there IS a scuffle with some biting...it happens, but there is rarely any injury involved. The fight usually breaks up fairly quickly with no interferece
hey dude ive got a question everytime i try to breed the male goes for it and the female runs away(shesvery skitish) since she wont go easy he will try the biting technique to hold on 2 her but she bites him back so he lets go..im confused
The key is trying to time the "meeting" with the female's ovulation...this is when she will be most receptive. It took a long time for this girl to tolerate breeding...I had originally thought she was a "hot female" and would never breed, but she mated 2X now.....just separate them when they fight and reintroduce them a few days later.........you should time it right eventually...you can also use the "paper trick" to get the female to ovulate...just google "leopard gecko paper trick"
Hey if people can do it on the counter why not leopard geckos haha xD
