Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Tang Breeders giving me trouble-Any Advice is greatly appreciated
My stud Tangerine named "Arson" has not been able to inpregnate any females to this point, and I'm starting to get very frustrated, as I'm getting plenty of eggs from my lower quality geckos, and nothing from my $2000+ group of tangerines. He has been introduced to each of the females for at least a week, and I've noticed "love bites" on a few of them, but they've never got pregnant. He was in with a female called "Plasma" for over a month, and instead of her getting gravid, she gained 20+ grams of fat! Arson last weighed in at 66 grams and the females range from low 50's in grams to 70+. I evened tried not feeding them for a night so they would(in theory) concentrate solely on breeding. Two out of the three females have had Arson introduced to them AND vice versa. I'm begining to think the male is at fault, since I do not think all 3 of the females would be able to aviod getting gravid. This is very frustrating and I'm beggining to reach my limit.......if I can't get eggs from these geckos soon, I'm just going to have to sell them off and I realize that geckos just aren't for me. As nice as they are, I bought this group as breeders, not pets, and I expect them to BREED! I thought selling the babies was supposed to be the hard part...... I would really appreciate any help anyone could give me. I would be willing to take pictures of the females bellies upon request.
Thanks in advance,
Eric

I had that happen last year and come to find out I was not mating them at time they were ovulating so it was useless.
Check their bellies, you will see pink cicrles about the size of an eraser head or a tad smaller when they are ovulating.

It took my male 2 month ... now they are 3 month together, and both females have eggs in them.

!!!!First Eggs!!!!
Artemis just laid her first clutch!!! Both eggs are fertile, however, one of them was somehow punctured. Below is a picture of Artemis right before she was introduced to Arson. Thanks for all of your help!

Don't forget . . .
. . . Barry White music always works to get my geckos in the mood.
My son did a science fair project last year on male leos and scent - and I can tell you that fresh poop from another male works - their tail really starts to shake and bake.
I actually kick started a male doing that once - put some fresh male poop (not my own, of course - hehe) in a 2 oz deli cup - and bam - his head perked up - and he started to drag his junk around like they do when they are marking territory.
I'm glad you are getting eggs - that's a nice looking female.
