Haha I mean "do" in the title, sorry :p

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'd really like to know. I know that ovulation in females is a common cause to go off feed, and one of my females (who's never kept with a male and probably never will be - aka. she won't breed) has an annual little thing where she goes off feed for a couple of months in the spring (between February to May), only eating about 1-2 times a week.
She's now eating perfectly fine again, but I just want to know if springtime is a common time for them to be ovulating.

Springtime is the most common time of the year for geckos to ovulate. That seems to be just about right.

It's different for my girls. I have one girl who ovulates in November and a couple who start in January, but the rest seem to start in early spring. So I guess it's totally up to mother nature! My buddy who is a medium-large breeder, has eggs being laid basically all year. Go figure.:confused:
