my new family

[tibi]

i introduced the male to my females about 2-3 weeks ago. do you think there are any chances that the females are gravid, or is it too late for breeding? also, are there any ways you can stimulate them to breed besides candles and marvin gaye?

Its not breeding season.
Are your females even ovulating?

Another person tryin to breed without proper research. :hanged:

oh come on.. why do you have to be so mean? i've heard that some leos can breed out of the breeding season

Are your females even a proper age and weight? Have you done any research? And why are you trying to breed? Do you have buyers or a place that will buy the babies? Do you even have a setup for every hatchling that will come into the world if you do manage to get them to breed? Do you have the proper incubation? Did you think breeding gecko's was easy as...male gecko puts wee wee in girl gecko vajaja?

Seriously I wouldn't recommend trying to breed out of season. Very rare it happens in any situation. Your better off keeping the male away from the females till its time. And unless your prepared I'd keep him away forever.

I'm the mean one remember that.

i don't know the weight of the geckos now... when i last weighed them they were 47, 50 and 52 grams but they've put on more weight since then. i would have introduced the male much earlier but i considered that i would better wait for him to grow a bit more because he was younger than the females. yes i have done my research and i know what the breeding period is but i just wanted to know if it would be possible for them to mate later because i've seen different information on different sites (also, a friend's gecko laid eggs 2 weeks ago). the hatchlings will be kept in stacked plastic boxes with heat pads and moist tissue as substrate. I have a homemade incubator which i've tested and can keep a constant temperature of up to 32 degrees C, plastic food boxes with perlite for the eggs, thermohygrometers, colonies of all sizes of mealworms and superworms, a few empty terrariums for the ones i decide to keep. the ones i want to breed are all tremper albinos and i'm hoping that the male and at least one of the females will prove to be het eclipse. leopard geckos are something new in my country, there aren't many breeders (you can count them on your fingers) but it's something i fell in love with and it would be nice to recieve some help and advice instead of harsh comments

thank you for your answers and have a nice day

well then why the heck are you asking if your all setup? I wouldn't breed anything out of season.

There was nothing harsh about my answer. I just asked you a series of questions. If you feel that I was harsh then well I can't help you. There are to many people coming into this forum who think they know best and try to do things like breeding its becoming a epidemic of fools lately. So don't take it wrong. Take it as people who are more worried about the reptiles then they are of other people.

Breed them in season. Males usually start breeding at a younger age like most of us men do (ahem).

As for incubation I'm sure your setup works fine. I'm more of the 10 gallon, part water, fish tank heater with bin and more cups etc type guy. So I can see where your coming from with making your own. more of a feeling of accomplishment.

well have a nice one.

Honestly i think each individual gecko has its own season. IMO you need to breed the geckos when they are ovulating, not when everyone else is breeding.

Ill ask again.
Are your females ovulating???

 

[Russellm0704]

I just think it is wrong to try and stimulate any animal to breed. If a female did not ovulate this year, then better luck next year. Let nature take its course and don't try to force anything. Patience is key

 

[tibi]

well i'm in no rush. don't know why i asked about stimulating actually...
