Bite another gecko while having sex..

[thomasdanes]

Yesterday night i saw my male gecko bit another gecko (female one) while they were having sex together
Is it ok? could they get some scars because of that?

yeah its normal the male "nibbles" up the females tail to he back as a kind of are you intrested thing! lol somtimes they even bite them to hold on.
be verry watchfull thought as bad things can happen if she changes her mind.
heres the link to one of my posts: http://geckoforums.net/showthread.php?t=70292

my female didnt want to mate so my male attcked her! even though they have bin mated for years.

and most scar tissue will be shed out over time so dont worry to much

yes thats normal, the male bites the females neck whilst mating.

I think it must say that on every care sheet about breeding, so i suggest you read up a bit more before continuing to let your gecko's mate as its not something that should be entered lightly.

and youve posted this several times.



EDIT: okay.... guess my advice got ignored.

They gotta do something... The females don't have hair to grab.

Agree'd. Please (can't say it enough) always educate yourself COMPLETELY before ever venturing into the more advanced aspects of owing herps. Not only can the lack of knowledge hurt or even kill your leo, but it just adds to the larger probem of people who breed solely for profit and then it makes all breeders look bad imo. I know a lot of the experienced keepers here are happy to help the beginner breeder educate themselves to becme a better, well prepared owner/future breeder, but please take the time to educate yourself and ask questions BEFORE ever attempting to breed any pet. This forum is an awesome resource for any herp owner looking to expand their knowledge of their pet. It hs been an invalueable resource for me.

Dog Shrink already beat me to it. Since it looks like you have your leos already mating I'd suggest researching as much as you can about breeding

Thanx! She might be a super hypo snow, but I'm thinking she will just be a hypo snow.

I don't have too much to say on the topic, but the title of the thread cracks me up every time.
