Leo breeding

I am thinking about breeding leo as my first reptile to breed.
How do you think that would go.
What requirements are need temps,grams, length etc.





Thanks

Come on I know some of you breed leos

Sounds like you have some research to do :) You can check out gecko forums too, geckoforums.net is pretty active. You should learn a lot there.

I am going to do my research

Hi there, sorry no one else got back to you I have been away for last week so wasn't able to post earlier..

As far as being a good 1st breeding attempt they are a pretty good choice. They usually lay 1-2 eggs at a time but can lay multiple clutches. A single fem can lay anywhere from 1 or 2 eggs to 10+ depending on age and weight of female.
Males should be older than 5 months and females older than 8 months, but like BP's weight is more of a consideration for females. Females should be at least 45 grams before breeding with a nice fat tail.. The forum miamiroyalpythons gave is a great one for gecko's also I would recommend picking up Ron Tremper's book The Herpetoculture of Leopard Gecko's as it is a great book for owner's and breeder's alike...

Hope this helps, any other questions feel free to ask.. :D

Thanks.
Also my gecko looks like a super hypo tangerine carrot tail but I am not sure asuamming it is shtct what would bea good pairing. Hes a male and 41 grams

It all depends on what you like... You could breed it to another shtct or any number of things...:gj:

I would say breed it to a mack snow and any form of albino. The reason being mack snow is co dom so you have a good chance at getting some variety. If you breed it to an albino you can make hets and if you add some more in the future get the form of albino you made hets for.

I honestly didnt even try breeding my leos.
I just have a regular cage setup according to most caresheets on leos. And I introduced the male and female together and one day a few months later I noticed she was gravid.
So I guess I cant give you many pointers but I think the female should be at least 50g and a year old at the least. That sounds right to me. Good luck with your future breeding!
