It Worked!!!

So today I got home from school and as usual I do the weekly weigh in of my 5 geckos. My high yellow female with a carrot tail weighed in at 53 grams!! My age unknown male HTCT weighed in at 45 so i put them together a few minutes ago, and he got straight to work no time to waste!!:main_yes: He mounted her twice. I just have a question about how long do they do the "Dirty" work for? He got on for like 2 minutes, and actually got under her tail for about 15 seconds and he was done, he got off and started cleaning his "man sauce"

Oh my goodness. I think I need to take a cold shower after reading your post :main_laugh:

2 minutes and 15 seconds is all any man really needs...
I'm sure he took care of what he needed to.

buahah...man sauce...

To answer your question, Maia's rigght. That's more than enough time lol

 

[aznguyen837]

Ok, So should I seperate them?

 

[Dogger25]

This is geckoforum right?

 

[Khrysty]

Yep, they'll usually fair better separated and she's been fertilized so no need to keep them together any longer lol

This thread seemed like some dirty gecko porn...lol. I think it really depends on the set-up you have whether or not you need to separate them. I have a big set-up and don't take my male out. There hasn't been any issues, but I will take him out after breeding season to give the females some rest.

 

[aznguyen837]

Well I have a 20 long, but if I put her back in the 40 breeder I'm scared that one of the other geckos might trample her eggs or the other ovulating female will lay first and I will think that she was infertile. So how long does it usually take for the eggs to come?

 

[Khrysty]

anywhere from 2-4 weeks

anywhere from 2-4 weeks

Would you guys know if the time between copulation and laying is correlated in any way to the time time between laying clutches? That would be interesting, and a very worthwhile thing to observe I think.

So, today one of my other females dug her moist hide way high so should I check it and dig around, and if I do do I try to put the dirt how it was before?

 

[crotaphytidae]

I would check it, but if the box has a see through bottom pick it up to see where the eggs are that way you know where to dig and when to expect to get to them.

What does it mean when a pregnant gecko licks and cleans her anal?
