Hello, I was looking for some advise, Our females are not ovulating, and they haven't been for 5 or 6 months now. They had a very short last season. We tried to broomate them so that they would start and nothing is happening. Any advise to get them to start up again?

An excerpt from "The Herpetoculture of Leopard Geckos":

"North of the equator, most reproductive Leopard Geckos experience a breeding season that begins as early as January and extends to late September with some geckos laying eggs into October. For individuals that are hatched late in a given year they may not start to cycle for egglaying until April or May of the following year."

So basically it is the off season, though temperature can trick Leos into thinking it is mating season.
