    Threw a male to the female.. giving it a try

    i have a female normal which is in 1500 grams and a male ready to bread, eventhough its not the season i threw the male to the female thinking 'whats the worst thing could happen'...
    now i want them to breed, not counting on that but still hoping
    so i know i need to put the male with the female for a few days and then get him back to his cage for a few days or something like that, can anyone explain what should i do with the male? how many days should i put him with the female and what not?

    There is no "season" for breeding them, really. 3 in, 3 out is what i did.

    Please don't "throw them together" again until you've fully researched the whole process, including egg and hatchling care.

    i know how to care for eggs and hatchlings, and i knew i should put the male for something between 3 days and a week, i even have an incubator cause i breed leopard geckos too
    and back to the topic - in the 3 days the male is in his cage, i need to feed him again? or just let him rest?

    Day 1-3 = male in with female (unless I see him unlock after day 1 or 2...then I go ahead and put him back in his tub)
    Day 4 = offer food to the male (the male may go off feed)
    Day 5-7 = rest/digestion for the male.

    Repeat.

    sounds good!
    just a little update - the female looks like she wants it bad and the male looks like he doesnt know what to do. its the first time for both of them they are seeing other BP's
    i think i'll put him in his tank tomorrow cause i dont see any locks.

    Why didn't you thoroughly research all of this beforehand? I'm definitely no breeder, but these seem like very basic, general questions with simple answers that you should have looked into before even considering 'throwing these two together.'

    Yes, continue to feed both animals weekly as long as they will accept food. Make sure they are separate when you offer.
