2 jungle gaint albino pics

these 2 about 1.5 yrs old. been tryng to get these 2 to breed for a while. the female just won't give it up, lol. took this pic not even 5 mins ago. another unsuccessful try.

this is my 2nd time breeding. the first time was with 2 high yellows, but they lived together so it just happened one day. now i keep every gecko seperatly. in the pic above i introduced the male into the female's enclosure. is this the right way to do it? and when breeding do i just leave them together for a week or so, or should breeding happen right away?

Those are 2 gorgeous Leos, I can understand why you can't wait for them to breed!

The female won't breed unless she is ovulating. Once she is ovulating, you can introduce the male to her enclosure and breeding should take place rather quickly. I would leave him in with her for a couple days when you see them breeding, just to make sure they did the dead. Then take him out. If they mated successfully, you should see eggs forming in the female a few weeks later. If not, then I would put the male back in with the female again for another try. Keep this up until you have eggs!

I agree with Jeanne, I would be egar to see them babies too.

Give the female some time. Sometimes you just have to catch them in the right mood.

oook, thanks for the words of advice. i'll keep you guys posted on what happens. i'll keep my camera with me at all times and maybe i'll catch them doing it and post a pic, lol. thanks again.

Please do! We are a bunch of perverts in here, we like Gecko Porn! LOL

whooo hooo. i guess you can figured out what happened at 12.20 a.m. tonight. the female finally calmed down and gave up her virginity. lol. i put the male in her tank and once he walked out of my hand he eyed her down. he shook his tail and went in for the kill. i was kind of worried cause he had her tail in a bite for a good 2 mins without moving. then for about 15mins he humped every part of her body except where he was supposed to, but got the hang of it after a while. after everything he licked his hemipenis.

QUESTIONS: Should i re-introduce him over the next 2-3 days to make sure breeding was successful? How many weeks can i expect eggs?

Thanks for everyones help and im so sorry i couldn't get pics. i had the chance but you get so caught up in the moment, it's like you don't want to miss a second.

Sorry to re-post, just want to know what to do.

Our plan this year with first time breeders was to pair the geckos up every other week until we found the female gravid. We keep the males in for about a week and then out for a week. In your situation you might want to keep an eye on the female and do short sessions until she calms down. Later if you feel comfortable leaving the male in overnight, or for a few days, go for it.

If all is well with the breeding, you can expect eggs in 2-4 (2.5-3 seems to be the average for us) weeks depending on the female. Also, females can retain the males sperm and use it to fertilize multiple clutches of eggs, sometimes even for a whole season. That's not always the case though. Maybe every 2-3 months, inbetween laying, you can pair them up again just to be safe. It can't hurt.

Hope this helps a little.
