My Gecko Getting Action?

[Kotsay1414]

I was folding laundry and looked into my 30 gallon tank and this is what I saw... my High Yellow Female and my Paternless Leo on top of her. I thought my Paternless was a girl until Golden Gate suggested she was a he from a picture provided, then I saw this...

Uh, usually sitting on top of other leos shows dominance not sexing. When they sex they usally turn at an angle so the male can let out his privies and do things accurately.

Thanks. I wasn't sure. I'm a rookie when it comes to the breeding stuff

 

[GoGo]

Me too, but i know how they breed from research and what sitting on top means. All my geckos sit on top of each other, and because of that none of them manage to dominate the others.

When they are breeding, the male will be beside the female with one leg over her, and her tail will be up while he scoots in so their cloacas are aligned. The male also usually has a hold of the female's head or neck in his jaws.

Anyone have a photo of their leos breeding??? I KNOW I've seen LOTS of them posted...

Here is a picture of a Mack Snow Male and a Tangerine female that I bred this spring.

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I knew they had them but that is the first pic of leo's I've seen breeding so I wasn't sure that's what it was.
