You could possibly, put the female in a tub, inside his tank and let them meet eachother through the tub. Do this daily, starting from say 5mins intill say 2hrs. Before you can think about breeding, which is a long way off. Get the male used to company if it's a male or female. So gradually built up the times daily/weekly and see how things go. I'd release the female, when the male starts to pay no interest in her at all. Your hoping for something like a novelty gift, first time you get it you can't leave it alone, the next thing it's in the back of the cupboard with a seabed worth of dust. This is the affect you wish to atreive before you can even think about breedeing your Leopard geckos. PM me for anymore help or advice. Jakeelvin123.

hey
the reason he twted her is because she entered his territory. youve kinda gone about it backwards. he should be introduced to her not the other way round. why not try maybe removing the 2 you dontwant to breed and then place the male in over night and then remove him in the morning. do this for a few days and she will be up the duff in no time. just wtach fo about 10 mins fo any reall violence and then leave them to it. other option is to place them both in a new viv and there will be no dominace or territory. it works with cresties and other geckos. see which one works, but you probably wont ever get him to allow her into his territory.
