    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....

Question about breeding

Not that I've vastly experianced, but I would seperate. She's indicating that she's not in the mood. Keeping them together is just risking stress and a possible fight. Is she ovulating?
 
So they've been together for a long time then. Are there any other geckos in there with them? If you're going to do a permanent colony, you should have several females to one male...this way the male can focus on breeding other females for awhile. When you have a one to one ratio, the male constantly will pester the one female leading to a lot of stress. In that case, they should be separated. Usually breeding visits are for only a few days, that's all it takes for the season normally (they retain the sperm).
 
i know this I only put them together once I wanted to reintroduce them. How long should I keep them together? 3 days? 2 days? a week?
 
That someone else may need to answer. I would separate as soon as you see problems. I was going for 3 days with two of my girls and took both out after two days. One because I could see several bites on the female, the other because I could see a bite on the male. If, for some reason the breeding didn't take, I'll reintroduce after she's laid 2 clutches of duds. My girls are first year breeders, so I'm 1/2 expecting the first clutch to be bad. If your girl laid good eggs on the clutch she had, there's no need to reintroduce them.
