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.

Start of Breeding season...
I remember Robin (I think it was Robin) talking about how some of her geckos are already starting to breed or are ready to breed (Ovulationg I guess), and she wondered why some start earlier than others. Could it be that the first geckos that hatch breed earlier than the others? Like, a female wil lay say 12 clutches. Would the geckos that were laid first and hatch first be ready to breed first, and this is why some of the geckos are ready to breed before the others? Instead of just all geckos being ready at the same time of the year, around February.
May be a dumb question, but I was just curious.
Thanks!

'tis the season
My geckos will start breeding right around the 1st of January, and usually the final clutches for the season are all laid by mid-September. The very last little ones have already hatched for 2004.

My geckos have started breeding too...... I think the main reason mine breed early is because I seperate the males from the females in July or August. After a few months I put the males with the females again......... They breed

I will be starting
breeding in December. I also keep the boys and girls separate...just like my students! LOL! They (the geckos) get down to business IMMEDIATELY when I put the males in. The eggs start poping out right after we get back from christmas break and we get the hatching going around spring break right into the summer, which gives me tons of time to work with the new hatchlings. A perk of being a teacher! (one of the few.) This season will be a big 'un. I may have as many as 20 females going...I may limit it to 15. Not as many as Preston or the others that chatted last night!

If my females are ready to go this time of year, like if they are ovulating I will start breeding them, but usually I start putting my geckos in with eachother in the winter between Dec and Feb.
But if they are ovulating now with enough weight and ready to breed go ahead and breed them, thats what I do.

you look for two red/pink blotches above where her belly button would be if she had one... or in that same area look for two little white dots... maybe the size of the tip of a regular sharpie marker
