Breeding?

[Imperial Geckos]

Okay so now i started introducing my fatties together and already have had 2 successful pairings. So my question is, once i witness copulation should i continue to remove and introduce my male to same female until i witness ovulation? or is one copulation sufficient? Any help will be greatly appreciated...

thanks,
Alex

I think that usually if the female permits copulation she is ovulating but that may not be the case. I do think that the presence of a male can encourage ovulation in a female. I don't know how long a female could store sperm before she ovulates with the result being successful egg production. I would recommend leaving them separate till it seems as if the female is ovulating and then putting them together again.
