I have 6 females and 5 of them will breed. I have one female and she just wont have anything to do with her male. Fat (Super Hypo Carrot Tail) the female in question is housed with a male Emirein (Boss) and another female Super Hypo ( Other Fat). Other Fat is gravid at the moment and ready to pop but Fat has been in the tank the same amount of time and still nothing. I know she has and is ovulating but every time Boss approaches her she kicks the crap of of him. I mean just beats the living **** out of him. She hasn't hurt him like blood and gore or anything like that or I would have removed her. Is it possible she just dosen't like him or is something else going on that I'm just not understanding. I put these 3 together because there all around the same size. Fat is a whooping 100 grams but not over weight, Boss is 90 grams, and Other Fat is also 90 grams. Has anyone else had a female that protested her boy friend. lol

Yup I have a few. Most of the time it's because they just aren't fertile and willing. Occasionally there could be something else going on. I usually just let them make their own choices. If they refuse a second season I'll try another male in case there's something they don't like about the one but they usually figure it out and are willing eventually.

I hope so. Right now my other males are no were near her size and I would be terrified to put one of them in with her. Like you said there is always next time and by than my other males will be big enough that I would feel comfortable leaving them with the beast. lol She is such a sweet gecko to handle but its just like she has a Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde thing going on. Well if she won't breed I at least know she would make a good pet. She would make such pretty babies tho. :/

I'm pretty sure I have a Mr. Hyde side too when obnoxious men make unwanted advances toward me. Maybe make sure he keeps his hide nice and tidy and he buys her dinner first. Tickets to a play or movie never hurt either :p

True very true and he is kind of an obnoxious and clumsy male. lol He is built like a tank and has a funny face. Kind of looks like a smiley crocodile. May be she just needs a better looking man. lol How ever I can not accommodate her at the moment. She is way to big for my lil boys to handle. Other wise I have a very handsome Bell Albino (Albert) and a very handsome Mack Snow (Geiko) that she could date. lol They could have such beautiful children. lol
