I have 3 females all on their second clutch.Do I throw the male back in .I heard that u put the male back in after the female has laid their 2nd clutch to make sure she's fertile.

I usually just do one breeding, some people do 2. You can usually tell if the first eggs are fertile by candling as well as how they feel/look. Like fertile eggs will be semi hard(not like a bag of water like infertile eggs), will be white, and well formed.

I repair females with a male every other clutch usually. Sometimes every third. It's just generally a good idea to ensure fertility.

I usually only breed once. I've rebred before but that was because she didn't take the first go around. I personally would only rebreed if you were getting infertile eggs. Let nature take its course type of deal. But alot of people rebreed, I've mostly heard after 3 clutches. It all comes down to how many hatchlings you can handle

Exactly! Should not need to rebreed unless it didnt take. Leopard geckos store the sperm and can do it for many months so rebreeding to me just seems excessive.
