Hi all,
I was just looking for a little insight I guess. My dads leopard geckos have been breeding since fall.. Well I got 2 females in the mail in November. I just got 2 males a couple months ago. All 4 are at breeding age and weight. I had them all in separate tanks and such. Well everyone has been bugging me to pair them up and put the females with the males. I was a little nervous since it was my first time pairing up geckos. Finally Thursday I caved in. I put my reverse stripe female with my darker Raptor male. When I put her in his tank he was crazy obsessed with biting her tail. She did not like him at all, my dad told me to leave her in there cuz his geckos do that constantly. Well I put my Sunglow Enigma with the lighter raptor male. He took off after her and bit her stomach, she snapped back and they have been quiet ever since. So tomorrow they have been together for a week.
They seem to be getting along, both pairs are eating together, sleeping in the same hide boxes. Only thing is, everytime the males try to mate the females totally reject them.
Like I said I'm pretty new to this, so I guess my question is, will they ever breed?? I know maybe at night they may be, but my dads geckos are very noisy at night when they breed and my geckos are more quiet now that they are paired up than when they were alone.
Are my geckos weird?? Has anyone ever had this same kind of thing happen?? Or am I just new to this and don't know the ropes??? I've heard that some geckos may not be good breeding material, how do I know if that is the case???
THanks Guys, SOrry so long, I just wanted to explain what is up.
Have a Good Night,
JJ
