how to breed?

[volkert13b]

can someone make a thread(should be a sticky) on breeding and inucbation of the eggs. i am looking at breeding leopards when i get a couple more and need some info on the whole process(yes i realize..its sex) but habbits, timing, setup, length of incubation, etc. this would be well appreciated.

A few suggestions about where to look:
--google "leopard gecko breeding" and read some care sheets
--email me at [email protected] and I"ll send you my breeding "article"
--after you've gotten the basics down go through the breeding section here and copy and paste anything that seems helpful so you have it all in one place.

Here is my breeding article. Remember this is just my opinion and there are different ways to do it. This stuff works for me but it might not work for you.

thank you guys for the quick reply. i will be reading the care sheets and getting al my research down before i even attempt to breed them.

just one general question.

how old does the male and female have to be before they are able to mate with each other. i am pretty sure my male is way to young(4 months), but i am doing all this research for the future.

Female: at least 9 months and 50 grams
Male: preferably at least 9 months, mainly because he'll probably eat less and at a young age he still needs his calories for growing.
