leopard gecko breeding problems

[drewseegers]

Hey guys im pretty new to this forum but Ive had reptiles for awhile now. I have a few questions to asks you guys about breeding leopard geckos since its my first time trying to breed them. So I have a male and female leopard gecko and they are both mature enough to breed. My female is atleast two years old now and my male is a almost two years old. My male is a little smaller than the female but not too much bigger. So I just put them together about 3 days ago and they have little to no intrest in each other. The male does not even attempt to mate with her. I dont know whats wrong. I have everything in the tank that they need. Could they have mated when I wasn't home or at night? I need some help, if anyone could help me that would be great!

Ive honestly never seen any of my geckos breed, but i currently have 12 eggs from 3 different females. Already had one hatch. Whether they breed or not, it is something you can not force and you must make sure she ovulating

Did you condition the 2? Fatten them up, the female especially. She also need to be ovulating. Generally, you should ask questions before you do something not after XP.
What weight are they?

Thanks for help. How do I tell that she is ovulating. Does she start to ovulate when she knows theres a male? Also will she be a little moody too? I would say shes close to 60 grams but the males probably only 50 grams.
