    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How long should I keep the males separated before I put them back with the females to start breeding, 2-3 months, longer, shorter? Please someone help. I have had them separated since the last clutch was laid Sept 1st. Thanks in advance for any help. P.S. I am a new breeder, had a good year and just want to make sure everything goes well in the future. I love my Leos. I also breed my own mealworms and superworms and never feed crickets or pinkies and all my adults are nice and fat, one girl weighs 85g. Enough rambling, I just am looking for some help and would gladly offer any input in issues that other people might have. Also KS never helps me, but here the people are much kinder.

You should just wait for next season before you start breeding again.
 
I give my females a 4-5 month break. Mine generally stop laying by September and I won’t introduce the male until January or late February. If the female is not ready by that time I give her a longer break and breed her later in the spring. I try taking care of the females and I don’t want to push them too hard.

PS – Everyone on Fauna is very helpful and knowledgeable. :)
