Why don't I get eggs?

[ReptilesForTheWin]

I want to know why I don't have eggs!!! I have a male and a female in a 20 long. the first night they were together the male was "trying" all night. I believe he got rejected. Now I haven't seen him go for "it". Now the male and the female just live together and I haven't gotten eggs. I am
going to take a pic of her belly in a few minutes.

How big is the girl, and if she is not ovulating she most likely will not except him.

I thought she was old enought maybe she needs another month. She is 8 or 9 months right now

what side will her eggs form on?

I am looking at my female from unerneath a glass table and i cant tell if she has eggs or not. please let me know if the pink spots will be on her right side or if it differs between leos. THANKS!

8 or 9 months seems a little young, mine are the same age and they aren't laying, I don't really expect them to, not that they would be fertile as there is no male in there. I was told by the breeder I got them from to wait at least until they are over a year to breed them, preferably 2yrs so they live longer and the babies are healthier and have a better chance of survival if mom is fat and happy.

I was told it is all by weight. Not age

I am hopping I can get a new female
that will breed this year

i have the same problem only mine is 2 years old and healthy weight and everything is ok they are just not laying.. I"m gonna keep them in together just in case....

For you tho, I'd take the female out... She is waay too young to be having babies.. I have three females that are one year old, one is 53 grams and the rest are 46 grams.. I wont breed them til next season!!! Best for the leo!

 

[ReptilesForTheWin]

ok well I will keep this in mind.
the season is about over and I am planning on getting a female at DAYTONA!

im having the same problem my patternless female i got which is 68 grams and 1 year and 6 months old i put her with my enigma and she rejected him so i left them togethier now their just liviing togethier it looks like he is not trying should i seperate them and then introduce them when seh ovulates

You can probably wait until she ovulates in the tank.

that same thing happened to me last yr, i didnt try putting them together this yr..maybe i willl for a couple weeks soon.. but last yr the male tried once and then got rejected and didnt try again and i had them together for a couple months but nothing happened, she was plenty old too..

It seems as though everyone is having problems with this, fertility issues.

Weight and age are both important. Just because the gecko is over 50grams, it doesn't mean she should necessarily be bred yet. Also remember first time breeders don't always offer as many eggs, many will absorb most if not all of the eggs the first season.

Typical breeding season without manipulation is Feb-Sept, however with careful manipulations you can have optimal breeding conditions start at any time of the year. My last two years of breeding, I had two different breeding seasons going in a year, first one starting in Feb, the second starting in Oct, this way I had things spread out and if a female wasn't ready in Feb she always had a second chance to start in Oct if I wanted.

So just because we are half way through the breeding season doesn't mean it's over for any breeding to occur.

However I do agree you need to give your female some more time to mature a bit.
