My almost 2 yr old male Mack Super Snow will not breed with any of my female breeders...I have tried with 3 dif females and he does no vent rubs or tail shaking..just walks all over them :/ no interest whatsoever..anyone know why? seems if they are ovulating he would have SOME interest sheesh

I have had male geckos that I never saw breed, yet the females laid fertile eggs. Just because he's not doing it when you're watching doesn't mean he isn't mating. He may just like his privacy. If you don't keep them together all the time, keep him in with a female for a few days and then check them for eggs.

This may seem silly, but are you sure he's a male?
If yes, then I agree with what was said before. Lol.
If no, then, well, there's the problem.:p

some geckos don't like their business all out there, lol. i agree with everyone above, just leave him in there for a couple of days and see what happens. i have males that are the same way, but they are producing. then i have males that have NO shame whatsoever. if it hits the tub, and it's female, it's gonna happen right then and there, lol
