Is breeding season over

[Chicagocrestedgeckos]

This was our first year with breeding crested. We were wondering if they are done laying for the season. The room they are in drops to the mid 60's now. We are in the midwest. Thanks for any inputs.

More than likely they are done breeding...but the season is approaching very fast!

I think the more appropriate question should be, Are they done laying?

A drastic drop in temperature is usually enough to stop Rhacodactylus from cycling eggs. I expose most of my animals to natural seasonal changes, even babies.

Harold, Will you be at tinley?

Ok so my female just laid her first pair of eggs yesterday...do I need to be concerned about temp at this point or just let her go? What exactly is the "season" for rhacs? I keep the house no lower than 68 - and the room they are in has my server and work laptop so it is usually no lower than 70-71.

There is no season. They wil breed any time of year if the temps are not cold. The still need to be cooled at least 3 months during the year to stop egg production and let the females rest.
