After mating should I take the male out?

[leopardgeckocg]

Hey, I have two female leopard geckos and my male successfully mated with one of them yesterday. I was wondering if I should take the male out now? Or keep him in the tank. I've done research on this for awhile now and I get a lot of different techniques and ideas. So I'm just wondering what you guys would suggest.

Will she lay eggs for sure because mating was successful? and if so how long does it take the eggs to develop, and lay?

I was always told after mating The eggs start to form and within 25 days you can see them well. and by day 28 -30 she will lay them. Is that mainly true?

Yes, you can take the male out. It's better on the leos anyways.
If she was ovulating when they mated she will most likely lay fertile eggs.

Yah, I'm pretty sure she was ovulating, and because she didn't nip him back at all. She just layed there lifted up her tail. and BAM. How long do you think I should wait before, placing the male back in?

Should I wait about 2 week to see if I see eggs forming? and if not place him back in with her?

i generally leave my males in until i get good eggs (unless they are starting to loose significant weight)

but if she does become gravid won't it be bad it he keeps trying to mate with her while she has eggs?

no, she will be fine. one or two matings doesnt mean that the female is gravid with fertile eggs.

oh, okay so Leave him in there untill I see eggs forming? or until she lays?
I'm kind of worried about leaving him in there and not watching them =(

When i introduce the female to the male I make sure they get along and then i keep them together for 5 days.if she is ovulating I would expect eggs 2-4 weeks
