I bred my gecko once. We fed her pinkies to get her ready. We borrowed a male, had to give him back since he had just one thing on his mind.

He stopped eating and got too skinny.

Got a few eggs but didn’t incubate them so none hatched. Sandi didn’t seem to be any worse off from the experience. I think she like the distraction.

Here she is at 13. She was about three when she mated.

I had a friend with a leo once. Two... and turned out boy and girl. At about 2 years old, they started maiting like crazy and the girl would mess up the sand in the cage, bury the water dish and lay a pair of eggs nearly every month. Good luck with your breeding attempts!

What of advice are you looking for? Breeding in general? I breed them and have since 2000.

Feed your female alot of pinkies, meal worms, and crickets before breeding her. Bring a male over, put him in and watch closely. The male will aggravate the heck out of your female, she will probably start screaming too. I forgot how long you leave him in there but good luck on your plans. I plan on breeding my girl too, thats why I know about it, lol.

Now your talking my language! I used to breed Leos, Veiled Chameleons, and bearded dragons. There really easy to breed(Leopard geckos). I used Play sand as substrate and had no issues with impaction some people complain about compaction but never had an issue. Get a disposable Glad container and cut a whole in the side of it big enough leo can get in it. Fill it with playsand and make it wet not to wet just enough that it stay up if the dig a whole. when she is about ready to lay her eggs you can see them in her stomach through the skin they look like 2 white things on both sides of her abdomen the lay 2 eggs in a shot! I'll have to take a pic of my breeder rack that I built I also have a hatchling rack as well if anyone wants to buy them I just don't have the time for the breeding game anymore and my interests changed! I used to have a 120 leos at one time I was feeding them Crickets 2000 a wk and mealworms and waxworms! If ya have any specific ?'s feel free to ask!

If you're really set on breeding them, go for it.

Otherwise, I'd save my money and buy some more.

Unless you're breeding them for profit. Then I'd consider it again. And unless you have a good market in your area or you can ship them to buyers. But unless they are super-quality or expensive morphs, you won't get more than $20-$25 a piece for them and that's pushing it.
