Takes forever

[gecko breeder]

my male takes forever to breed. hell do everything right and then it takes him 30 min or more to mate, sometimes he just doesn't do it at all, he just bites the female and keeps looking for the right position. i breed my female and the first eggs where infertile for some reason, so now im trying to fertile them, but my male cant mate right. my female gets bored after 5 mins, and walks around as my male is still biting and vibrating tail, i dont get him, whats wrong with him. another question, my fe,ales are 6 months old. they are both 56 gramas can i breed them, or should i wait till 10 months.

Not every male has the same behaviour in mating . . . I've got one who has the girls *in position* almost the same moment they touch the ground in his viv, and another one who is shy and runs after the females for hours before mating, another one is just mating inside the hide or and when it's totally dark in the middle of the night . . . But finally, they all get "the job done" and produce fertile eggs . . .

well listen to this, i put my large female in with a small male, and the male mated with her in a second. my male is not bigg, you would think he is like 10 monthes old, and he is already mating. i just wanted to see what would happen. when he nipped her at the neck, he was to short, to get under the tail. then he nipped the side and got under. for some reason, my female stayes still for him and not for the other. also my tremper albino female, who is 56 grames, is not reseptive to my bigg male, and feels more comfortable witht the small one. and get this she was avulating and did not like the bigg male but loved the small one. looks like the kid is getting more play then the adult lol.
