Ok guys, here's my stupid idea: breeding crested geckos.
Before I do that, I had some questions though.
1) I've heard that keeping a male and a female in the same enclosure can result in the male literally having sex with the female until she dies. If this is true, what are some steps I can take to avoid it? Can I house multiple females with one male to take some of the stress off the single female? Or should I simply monitor the female's weight, keep an eye on them and have an extra cage handy?
2) What's the demand like for regular crested babies? My male gecko, Abe, though I love him a lot, is not the looker. Don't get me wrong, I think he's beautiful, but he's kind of just a brown gecko. I realize this will impact the price, but would I be able to find a home for the babies? I don't mind selling them at cost.
3) What are some good ways to monitor the female's calcium intake? Is Crested Gecko Diet by T-Rex dosed with enough calcium to allow the female to produce eggs with no adverse affects?
4) What are some other dangers of breeding that I'd need to watch out for and consider before I dive in?
Thanks for all your help, I appreciate it a lot.
