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.

Leo breeding question??
So I recently bought 2 adult female geckos to get back into leos becuase I decided to breed my male shtctb that I got a few years back when I bred them before. I got the females over a month ago and I noticed one female became gravid within the first couple weeks and last week layed one egg and she still looks gravid. It seems to be a slug it looked ok at first but it's not looking to good now. So if she layed a egg she was gravid when I bought her but the first egg doesnt seem good so I'm worried she never mated and will just lay bad eggs. Is It ok to put the male with the gravid female or shouldn't I?
I've been putting the male in with the 2 females but they seem like there rejecting him, both times I seen him try the females run from him. The females are both 55-65 grams and the male is easily 80 grams. Would it stress the gravid female out?
What do you recommend?

It's fine to introduce the male to the gravid female. Female leopard geckos are like chickens, they will lay eggs even if they were never fertilized. I would put the male in there with her when her abdomen isn't completely swollen with a ready-to-lay egg and closely monitor the situation. If she fights him, remove him. Do this every other day. In 2-4 weeks, I bet she'll finally accept him.
In the meantime, I would put him in her enclosure and put her in his enclosure. Sometimes the scent of a nearby male is enough to make a female receptive.
