First time pairing

[David3urns]

Hello,
I'm a new user to the forums and was looking for some advice. I have 3 male geckos (blizzard, blizzard with yellow spots and a regular leopard). I was given a female leucistic (sp?) to breed with my males but so far i havent had much success in them getting along. The first male I introduced her to was very aggressive toward her, charging and biting. This is my first gecko breeding experience so I was unsure as to if this was normal courtship or if he was being mean. The second one was terrified of her. any time she approached him he would spaz out and run to the other end of the tank. So to be safe for now, I have picked up a tank divider to seperate 2 of them if needed.

Basically i'm just looking for some advice on how to get them to get along. The first 2 mentioned above shared a tank when they were very young, but we split them up after a few weeks. the 3rd, who i havent tried pairing yet hasnt shared a tank since he was a baby (he's now 2 and a half).

Thanks!
David

The first agressive one sounds normal. The male normally bites her to hold her in place.

David, there are plenty of videos around on the internet of geckos mating (try youtube )

Depends on what KIND of biting was going on. I would definitely separate them all. This way, just in case there IS a successful breeding, you will know exactly what male "got the job done" Are you positive of all their sexes?

I am sure of the sexes. I'll have to check some videos then. i've got the female in a 20l with a seperator in the middle, and a male on the other side right now.

I checked out some videos on youtube, and while the aggressiveness was surprising, I think Dino was more aggressive than any video i saw. He actually charged at her biting at her face several times.
before i introduced her into his habitat, i took everything out (his basking log, his cave and his water bowl) as i was told to do. should i just put them both together in a different tank alltogether?

Why don't you try the third male?
