Okay, so my remaining geckos who are male and female have been living together since the beggining of November and I was hoping that they would breed....however I think theres less breeding going on and more "Im going to bite you again if your try to mount me again"....failed pair or just leopard geckos that have a somewhat "rough" mating life haha!
please advise :)
thank you all in advance!

Some pairs just DON'T get on, you might just have to deal with it and move on and find them somone else to pair with, haha.

Is the female ovulating? What's the weight of the female? what temperature do you keep them at?
Breeding season really doesn't start usually until January, but she's probably tired of him. I would separate them and wait for the female to ovulate then reintroduce them. I give them a week then pull the male out again.
