How many of you breed multiple geckos? My question is mainly about how you set up. Do you have a separate male for each female or do you house multiple females with one male? I'm looking into housing 3 females and one male but don't want to hurt any of them in the process. I also want to know the rules on inbreeding offspring later on, bad idea? Thanks!

Different people do it different ways. I keep 1.2 or 1.3 together January till October (or whenever I sell enough babies to have empty tanks for the males). In breeding is OK for a few generations, but it's important to outcross every now and then. I don't inbreed enough to really need to count how many generations.j

I keep a 20L and a 40 breeder. I have one male and six females. One female is in a heated breeder box until she is 80grams. Rotate male around so he can take turns having his way with the girls and they can heal from mating wounds. Get some light meds for deep battle cuts.

I keep all my geckos individually in twelve quart bins in a rack, I never have any issues with "lover spats" between the geckos and only introduce them to one another for breeding. As for inbreeding out cross before five or so generations to prevent excess deformities.;)
