You can do this, but you still need to learn more about breeding before you attempt it. I recommend that for now you keep your 2 females together and your male on his own and learn more about the breeding process. Also, remember you will have to have a place to keep the babies, a way to find new homes for them if necessary, enough to feed them and to be able to take them to the vet if there is a problem (unless you have a job and are making some money, your parents will have to be on board about the vet. THere have been many posts here from teenagers whose parents have refused to take their gecko to the vet). This isn't meant to discourage you permanently, but to encourage you to think this through before taking a big step.

Before I say anything I do want to add that I agree 100% with acpart... You should really spend some time researching leopard gecko breeding, make sure you have enough room for juvies, if you can't get rid of them do you have enough space for them? Can you take care of them for 15-20 years? ect ect...

For me, I think its works best to put my female in the males tank when I want them to breed. I've noticed if I leave my female and male together all year long he gets kind of greedy and doesn't want to leave my females alone....

What I do is, when my female is healthy enough, I put her in the tank for two weeks, then put her in her normal tank with the other females so then she can rest and get her weight back up.

I know people that leave their females in the tank with the male during the entire breeding season, and take the females out in the fall / winter times... It really depends on how the two leos are together.

First of all thanks,
I have been doin lots of research last year but i thought it would be best to get some info from people who know what there doin. It was partly my dads idea to breed the geckos so he will gladly take them to the vet anytime. I have plenty of room for the babies up in our office we have these big metal racks and i know someone who breeds and sells snakes and also has experience with leopard geckos and would gladly buy them. He could also get me into some reptile shows where he sells his snakes. thanks for the info about keeping the geckos appart and stuff its gladly accepted
