help plz

[ackies rock]

ive had a female leopard gecko and ive just gotten a male about a week so i was wondering if it would be ok for them to mate?sumone tell me plz

[recycling goddess]

how old are they?

[mlededee]

and how much do they each weigh?

also, you should consider quarantining the male for at least 60 days, 90 days being optimum. that way if it turns out that he has anything he won't pass it on to the female before you can catch it and get him to a vet.

I'm pretty sure males are mature at 30-40 grams, but you'd want your females to be probably at least twice that to safely pass the eggs or not throw slugs.

they both are over 50 grams, i put them togethar they arent fighting but they arnt mateing, any ideas on how to get them to mate?

If I was a gecko, and I had a big ol human standing over me waiting to catch me in the act, I dont think I could perform so to speak... leave them be.. they will breed eventually..but I do hope you quarantined your male prior to putting him in with your female, or you could be asking for a whole slew of issues you really dont want to have to deal with if the male happens to have something you dont know about.

yes he has been quarinteed

So he was quarantined a week?

A week is not a suffucient quarantine period... I wish you luck.

the male is more used to his surroundings and also ive been putting the femle in the males cage and taking it out about everyday and the male is starting to vibrate his tale so im going to continue doing that and i guess they will eventually mate
