Gecko Graduation Project

[shocker]

I am relatively new to geckos but very interested in them. I have a ball python so I am familiar with reptiles. I decided I wanted to do my graduation project on breeding geckos and have been set on the idea. I am looking at it as a way to expand my knowledge on the animals as well as get some cool pets out of it.
The problem is my graduation project class is this semester (the next 18 weeks) and the breeding season is virtually over. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions at how I could make this work??? Not being experienced in this field I dont know if there is anyway alter their environment to make them think it is still breeding season. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated......or maybe someone has a pregnant gecko for sale???

P.S. I am still looking for 1 or 2 more breeding females that have a possibility of still producing eggs this season.

Where are you located? Leos (for the most part) need warm temps to want to breed, so if you live somewhere warm (it's ridiculously hot here), there is a chance that you could get some to breed.

Do you actually have to carry out a project, or can you assemble what you would need, document that, and document other breeders' results with your plan that you would carry out during the spring? It's generally also a good idea though not mandatory to get some experience caring for the adults, even if you've had other reptile experience, before attempting to breed.

I am located in Wilmington, NC and it stays pretty warm year round, so i might have a chance with that aspect. Although it may get cold here is it possible I can keep them warm in their tank to believe its still breeding season???? Thanks for your advice Aliza but the problem is my project requires a physical product :-( In regards to the experience problem I have a mentor to walk me through the process that has prior breeding experience...... so dont worry the leos are safe!!

I think it is possible, yes.
