Anything helps

Hi I new to leopard geckos and I noticed yesterday my female is finally ovulating for the first time... Can u please give me any tips on how to go about breeding her... I don't wanna go about anything the wrong way... For example: how to introduce the male to the female for the first time... How long to leave them together... How will I no they mated... What exactly do I have to do... I really appreciate any tips...

My my female was hatched I believe around June 22,2013 I weight her yesterday and she is currently 70 grams

Well before you even introduce her to the male you need to know exactly what your doing. ask yourself these things:

- Get and incubator, thermostat, egg containers
- make sure the incubator is holding a steady temperature
- ask yourself if you can afford possibly over 20 leopard geckos
- What sex are you incubating for?
- can you individually house all of those hatchlings until they are old eneough to rehome?
- do you know the parent geckos genetics, so that you can label and sell the babies properly?
- are you prepared to have babies possibly die or be put to sleep?
- are you prepared to pay for surgery if your female becomes egg-bound
- can you afford to take all of the babies to the vet in case they become ill?
- what are you going to do with the babies? keep them, try and sell them?
- if you sell them, where are you going to sell them?
- if your male prolapses during breeding can you go have it fixed?
- are you prepared for your female to possibly die from egg complications?
- have you done enough research?

im not trying to be harsh in any way, but you need to be prepared for everything and more that i have listed. i highly reccomend just enjoying your gecko as a pet for a year or more, so thhat you get a good feel for how to care for them and such. if you still feel the need to breed ( hey that rhymed! ) make sure that you can give a positive answer to every question up there. and before you do anything, read through the breeding, hatchling care, and egg incubation forums on here, and you should find all of the information that you asked here. also, i reccomend ordering or purchasing some high quality care books, and reading as many care/breeding sheets as you can get your hands on so that you are fully prepared for anything that can happen. i hope that this helps inform you a little bit, and good luck with your geckos

I'd give it some more time to learn proper care before you consider breeding little ones can be hard to care for. Better to learn to walk first before you try to run.
