Hi, I had bought a 3month old male jungle albino giant and a 9month bell albino.I put them in one enclosure and wanna breed them, but I worried if they will mate too early and produce foul eggs and some health problems to the female.Thanks

I think you should seperate them until the female is 40-50 gramms and 12-8 Month old. I mean if you have a 9 month female that is well stated ovulating and healthy hhmm why not. But if she´s not well stated you should wait.
And plz tell us how big the female and the male is. I think it´s not a good idea to put a 3 to a 9 month old as the 3 month is too small.

Since you are concerned about their health and safety, these two gecko should be housed individually until they are the proper breeding age and weight. The size difference could cause serious problems where the larger gecko can bully, and even injure the smaller one. Also, if the female is not at least 50 grams, there may be complications from producing even infertile eggs.

Yes to all of the above! You're going to have to wait until the male is much bigger anyway. Typically females won't accept males that are considerably smaller or younger than themselves. We have females all the time that bully small males or first time breeders. That's why we house them all separately and separate them if the female attacks when we put them together to breed.

Oh, I just noticed that you said Jungle Giant Albino and Bell. I'm assuming the GJA is a Tremper (at this point I don't know of any Giant Jungle Bells for sale). These Albino strains are totally separate and should not be crossed. All they will make is normal babies het for both strains of Albino. Please don't cross lines!

They will make all normal babies that will be double heterozygous for Tremper Albino and Bell Albino. There are three different albino strains: Bell, Tremper, and Rainwater or Las Vegas. All three strains are different morphs of albinism. So, they don't cross. It would be like breeding an albino to a normal. All offspring would be het for albino. To get albinos you need to breed TremperXTremper, or BellX Bell, or RWXRW....There won't be anything wrong with the babies if you pair them, they just won't be worth much and they will be het for a bunch of stuff.
