if she's biting him back and trying to escape from him then chances are she just isn't ready or ovulating yet ~ personally I'd remove the male and try again later but if she still won't accept the male then I'd keep them seperate and leave it until next season as it isn't worth stressing her out.

mine are kept at the same temps all year
females ovulation can vary ~ some of my mature girls started at different times last month whereas my younger one year olds aren't ovulating at all (I don't breed them until they're at least 18-24 months old anyway)
most of mine will have finished laying by April or May at the latest

I'm sorry but if you don't even know the temperature your geckos should be kept at why did you get more?
And as for not knowing about ovulation, have you done any research at all?
Your male shaking his tail has nothing to do with her ovulating -face palm-
What do schools teach now?
Seriously. Ugh!
Please do some research.

And also answers all the questions instead of trying to make a fool out of me! I bred leos 3 years in row now i think i can care for them!!!!.

Definition for ovulation:
The expulsion of an ovum from the ovary.
Hence my wondering. It's pretty much the same for any female to be honest.
I didn't mean to come across as rude, bad day and all that. This thread ended up being the straw yesterday.
Anyway, no him waving his tail won't stimulate her. The tail shaking is a sign of 'excitement'. When she is good and ready she will ovulate and be receptive to breeding.
As CornyLeo above has said your viv is way too cold. I'm surprised they are digesting at that, let alone breeding.
