There is plenty on google about breeding leos.
Like i said to you yesterday i think you need to research alot before you just decide you want to breed leopard geckos. You should be looking at the time, space and money required and then weigh up whether you can actually afford and have the time for breeding.
I dont think your mum will pay for everything like you told me especially if you havent got the first clue about breeding them and how much it is going to cost!

*nods*
to also repeat what I said in the other thread here -> I need help with Gecko breeding

read and research on incubating and rearing ~ there are some excellent guides on various caresheets on the net ~ well before you think about breeding; also do a price-up of how much it will cost you ie: incubator (even a home-built incubator costs money), tubs/rubs for hatchlings, extra heating, extra food etc, extra time spent looking after them, cleaning etc plus if you're not keeping them will you be able to sell them? ~ bearing in mind females will lay between 6 and 16 eggs each and if you can't sell them can you afford to keep them?

I agree with sam12345 regarding expecting your Mum to pay for everything ~ does she realise exactly how much it costs not only in cash but also in time and effort incubating and then raising upto 16 hatchlings (if not more with extra females)? What happens if something goes wrong - who pays the vet fees? Who's going to look after them when you're not there?

Yes leo's are cute but please read and research first!
