    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....

I have a female gecko that mated with the same male I introduced her to this year. Last year she had no problems with him and the mating was a success. This year she won't let him near her or she will attack him. Is there a reason for this recent hostility. By the way they do not share the same enclosure.
 
Yeah there is a reason..... She isnt ready or "in the mood"....... She is not cycling yet...... Try again in a few days...... She will be ready to go eventualy...... The introduction of the male can be enough to trigger her off...... You will know she is ready when she does not fight the male and lets her tail flop to the side......
 
Maybe she decided she doesn't like him anymore?
It is because she isn't ready to breed yet. I have some girls that beat the poo out of males twice their sizes and the males sulk off into their hides...
 
Too true!! Oh wait a minute, I'm not supposed to acknowledge that as I am the ummm... alleged aggressor gender :dgrin:
 
hehe

ive had pretty good luck being able to tell right away , if the female is ready .

i let her get a good look at the male while still holding her .

the female will either run up my arm , or slowly walk toward the male .

of course it isnt fool proof if your female doesnt acknowledge it is a male right away .

ive had a few attempts where the female didnt see him , just walked into the cage , then had a "hissy-fit" (biting ,running, and tail-slapping etc.) when she noticed what was up . lol
