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.

Female first time mating???
Well now even though we weren't planning on breeding them for a couple more months this is what happened. So we have two females and one male and the one female is 38g no tail so I know add like 3-5g for tail loss but the other is only 32g with tail so not gonna breed her at least for a bit. We have two separate cages for the 2 females and the male but I cleaned out the girls cage and my wife decided to put them in with the males cage while I was finishing up and then all of a sudden he grabs the big girl and they start mating, I didn't even catch it till it was already going on nor my wife. But I really didn't wanna disrupt it and possibly have one get hurt or stressed out so we just let it happen. But since there is the story here are a couple of the questions I was hoping could be answered. (A) The male is like just shy 1 year but only weighs in at 23g and wanted to know if he would even be fertile at that small and if so would the hatchlings if she becomes gravid be good to go? (B) Since that happened now I took the females back out of the cage and put them back in the one I just cleaned because I don't think the male is technically ready right now and wanted to know if she becomes gravid and lays a few eggs with anything he was able to do will the two female crested geckos be ok still living in the same cage and with her if she lays eggs?

Oh also if anyone was wondering what they looked like or how big they are or just the one that mated their pics are like one or two threads down the one that says luckily two females. It was the bright red flame crested with the yellow patterning down its back that was jumped on.

Your male is ready to breed at about 9 months, but don't quote me. Males tend to mature and grow faster than females. Weight matters more with the females. The females weight should be about 45 grams (might be pushing it, but it's safer so the female can handle the process). The male's sperm will last 2-6 months within the female. The females together should be fine, but if you want to figure out who makes what I would separate the females as well if you decide to get another male. If you do get eggs, because they hide them pretty well, make sure you take them out and lay them in damp media somewhere warm.

So I have just separated the male from the two females the Dalmatian is still a virgin and hasn't mated yet so the red and yellow flame is the one who did she is 36 to 38 grams without her tail so i believe she will be fine. they are just one paper towels and I put a nice lay box so that would be the only place she would lay unless it where on the paper towels. When I get another male I will just keep one female and a male together and a the other ones together. So hopefully that will work out well.

It's recommended to give females a break from the males during the cooler months (Nov-Feb) in order to rest for the next breeding season. That means housing them separately for at least a few months out of the year.
Never put a female near or in the same enclosure as a male with a noticable bulge, he could mate with her even if you aren't expecting it. Cold weather, daytime, young male, underweight female - doesn't seem to deter them and just a few minutes is all it takes.
Housing crested geckos together in general can be tricky, so always be prepared to separate at any time. Younger, unsexed juveniles can nip tail tips or eat whole tails, as can adults.
