Share ko lang some infos na natutunan ko sa Gecko Breeding (",)
1. First you must have a LG pair ( male and Female) or pwd 3some or 4some basta isang male lang dapat + 1 or More females
- don't house 2 or more males together kasi ngpapatayan sila
- some people would say don't leave 2 animals alone together without supervision to prevent disaster ..hehehe
Requirements:
-at least 1 year of age
- Female should be no less than 50grams ( From Net) / 60 grams (safe weight from a friend) because the female will actually loose weight while being gravid, as the egg production takes calcium
from her bones and body.

2. Breeding Season
- sabi ng iba merong breeding season from around February to August...yung iba naman sabi nila walang breeding season sa atin kasi of our temperature...
- yung iba hinahantay nila mgovulate ang Female before nila icommunal ang male sa female
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]- pro sa case ko marami ako males kaya 1:1 ratio sila communal lang sila until mglay ang female ng eggs mga around December dapatregular na ang pagcheck ng abdomen ng female for any signs of ovulation or eggs. remove the males when its sure na gravid na ang females
3. Precious Eggs & Incubation
- this season 1st clutch ko was layed on January 13,2013
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]- 2nd cluth will be layed usually 2 weeks or later ..in my case 2nd clutch was layed January 29,2013
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]-some literature will say that 1 mating will give 3 fertile cluthes ...what i did was when females lay eggs i place back the male 2 days after then let him stay for 1 week then remove him again to prepare the female for the next cluth then repeat the cycle until the end of the egglaying stage

[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Copied form Net:
" Temperatures:The sex of leopard geckos is
determined by the temperature of the incubator. Usually if the egg is
incubated for at 90º F, it will be a male, or if it is incubated at 80º
F, it will be a female. If the eggs are incubated at 85º F, the chances
your chances are 50/50 for either a male or a female, but you then run
the chance of having "hot females" or "cold males," where they will not
breed and are usually more aggressive."
- Mine are incubated as Females with consistent temperature to avoid abnormalities and casualties

Some literature will say that at the 50th day of incubation eggs will start to hatch.. timeline would be 50-60days but some eggs will hatch earlier or later ...My first hatch this season (2013) hatched at the 53rd day .
