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.

Not that I've vastly experianced, but I would seperate. She's indicating that she's not in the mood. Keeping them together is just risking stress and a possible fight. Is she ovulating?

So they've been together for a long time then. Are there any other geckos in there with them? If you're going to do a permanent colony, you should have several females to one male...this way the male can focus on breeding other females for awhile. When you have a one to one ratio, the male constantly will pester the one female leading to a lot of stress. In that case, they should be separated. Usually breeding visits are for only a few days, that's all it takes for the season normally (they retain the sperm).

i know this I only put them together once I wanted to reintroduce them. How long should I keep them together? 3 days? 2 days? a week?

That someone else may need to answer. I would separate as soon as you see problems. I was going for 3 days with two of my girls and took both out after two days. One because I could see several bites on the female, the other because I could see a bite on the male. If, for some reason the breeding didn't take, I'll reintroduce after she's laid 2 clutches of duds. My girls are first year breeders, so I'm 1/2 expecting the first clutch to be bad. If your girl laid good eggs on the clutch she had, there's no need to reintroduce them.
