    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 after the first pair of eggs are laid should I expect the next pair? Also do you need to put the male in with the female for each pair of eggs or does one breeding session take care of it for the whole season. Thanks for any help.

For my geckos it takes about 20 days between the eggs..

The other question I don´t know.. I´ve had my male with the females the hole time.. But some people say that the females can restore the sperm, so..
 
Clutches can be spaced as little as two weeks or as long as 6 weeks. I hate it when it gets to the end of the season, I think they are done and switch to maintenance mode and find stray clutches!

The second question is tricky too. Yes, one mating CAN be enough for a complete season, but there is no guarantee that it will be. I try to keep my males with my females all breeding season for this reason.

On average my females will lay there eggs about every 14 days, sometimes up to 21+ days, but not very often. Like Steven said, towards the end of the season is usually when they are spaced out.

Female leopard geckos can retain sperm for up to a year. I house all of my leos singly except for a couple of female groups, I don't keep males and females together. I introduce females to the males enclosure once at the beginning of the season and once half way through the season (about 3-4 months in) for about 5-7 days at each introduction. I have been using this method for 10 years and have been very sucessful with it.
