Default Big male gecko

Hi guyz

I have 4 geckos 3 females and 1 male now my females all weigh in about 35-40g and the male weighs 85g he use to be the same size as the females but has grown loads and has a massive tail. I am abit worried about puttin the females in the same tank as he is so much bigger than them. Can they go in with him? Any suggestions would be grateful.

the females are a little too small to breed with ideally if you can you want them over 50g, however some females are pre disposed to be smaller, i have a 45g albino girl who for love or money won't go a gram over that weight.
If you put the male in, he will attempt to breed with them, so try to see if you can get their weight up a bit more, don't worry about him being too big, i have a high yellow that is 94g and i have a supergiant female that dwarfs my male albino but he some how manages it, size isn't a problem , the main thing is to try and see if you can increase their weight at all nearer to the 50g

locusts dusted with vitamin powder is good for putting on weight and feed them as many as they can eat a day possibly 2 - 3
