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.

Factors that influence fertilization?
Can anyone tell me if there are any other factors that might influence fertilization of eggs after copulation? So far i have come up with the following...
1. age of leos
2. supplements of vitamins and calcium
3. diet - nutrition
4. leos perception of season
i witnessed copulation multiple times during normal breeding season and successfully incubated several fertile eggs, but most of the eggs laid were not or showed no signs of fertility but otherwise looked normal and healthy. I incubated them anyway. There were no signs of dead embryos. i'm working to increase fertilization for next season...am i missing anything that i might be able to improve on? Has anyone else ever had a similar situation? If so, how did you improve it?
Thank you for any help you can offer!

riverjob,
temperature and humidity of the geckos after mating or of the incubating eggs?
I've got incubating down pretty well...consistant temp staying in the mid-lower 80s using an hovabator and humidity around 80% using vermiculite.
leos experience ambient humidity, ambient (room temp) on cool side and about 90 degrees on warm side.
thanks for your help!

How about their weights, females should be at least 55 grams before breeding.
