Seperating Males and Females: Wiithdrawl?

[el8ch]

Hey All,

My wife has 3 Leopard Geckos, 2 females and 1 male. When we first got them they wer all housed together and now that they are breeding size they have been seperated.

Our Tangerine just laid and our Snow has 2 visible eggs in her. My question is: Our male normal, since being moved to his own enclosure refuses crickets (will still eat meal worms, wax worms when you hand/spoon fed him) and seems almost stressed. Find him searching the enclosure more then he ever has. What's your guess? Misses the company? Wants to breed? The girls seem indeifferent now that they are on their own.

I'm not experienced enough with Geckos to make an assumption, was just curious what the board had to say.

Thanks

We are fairly new to geckos too. When we seperated our leos, they looked lost too. Mine are eating though. Hopefully they get over it. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in.

He probably is still looking to mate. I have some geckos that have a one track mind and even if I pick them up would continue to try to court the females.

Yup, males when bred will continue to want to breed. I think it helps the more distance you can put between them and certainly don't be like my inlaws that leave just a pane of plexi between the poor things... he goes at that clear wall all summer long!

Give him a bit if he's not eating, just moving enclosures can put them off food for a bit, so unless it goes on for months I wouldn't be too concerned. (Assuming proper weight/husbandry/yadda yadda.)
