if their leo's then she won't mate if she isn't ready/ovulating etc plus the seasons just about finished now anyway ~ would suggest you seperate them and retry february/ start of the next season

Ok so dont people cool them or something like that to make them think its time to breed and yes they are leopard geckos.

I personally ~ along with many others ~ don't cool to force breeding out-of-season

Ok then i will wait even though i cant wait.

SleepyD has given you top info there OP, ours bred from december onwards but that was because for some odd reason when me moved it triggerd it.

I wouldnt cool them just to force breeding as you dont want your females being that stressed for so long.

Many of the medium to large scale breeders including myself, breed animals in their off season...

Tricking reptiles into ovulation during their "off season" will not stress females any more than breeding during their "normal" season does... Besides that, cooling is not a real trigger to get your females to ovulate in the case of leopard geckos...

Normally all it takes is the introduction of a male or you can even put substrate from the males cage into the females cage... The scent that males leave from their preanal pores is really what triggers a female into ovulation...

As long as you are not trying to muli-clutch (breed a female more than once a season), your females will be healthy and ack normally...

or you could just have two incompatable leos?

i tried to pair my tug snow and bell albino together and she`d go in for the kill.

popped her in with my mack snow and it was pure
