im looking to start breeding reps, ive been keeping them for all most five years and id like to take another step in the hobby
id like to start off with something abit easy as i have no experience so i was think of breeding geckos either cresties or leos
which would be best for me ?
thanks

It depends. What exactly do you hope to gain from breeding? If it's to make money, cresties are possibly the better choice (it's difficult to sell little normal leopard geckos). If it's to gain experience before moving to something more difficult, pick the species you like better.

And if it's just because you think a good keeper has to be able to breed a species to be an advanced keeper... think about what you're going to do with the babies and decide which species you'd rather keep.

Start with what you know.

If you have leos, breed them, if you have cresties, go with them.

The breeding bit is not that hard, its getting the conditions right to entice mating to take place.
