Banded Geckos, mixing subspecies
My female Tuscon banded collected from the south eastern corner of Arizona, has been laying duds all season. I recently added a desert banded male from outside Anza Borrego, figuring I'd soon have some viable eggs even if the babies were mutts. To my surprise, the pair isn't the least bit interested in each other. Maybe they're more different than I thought. The desert male is also considerably larger than my friend's adult Tuscon male. Has anyone else noticed incompatibility between subspecies? What about deserts and San Diegos? Will males from different subspecies still fight?
