Male leopard geckos will try to attract females by twitching his tail. Then the mail, "love bites" ( more like a grasp with his mouth) on the females neck. Then raising tails, they bring their "back ends" together then the male "vibrates" his "bottom" onto the other females "bottom".

You really don't have to "get" them to breed they do it on there own! But, there are certain things the female needs while she is pregnant. You need to make sure they have a lot of calcium and protein! It is very important in a pregnant geckos diet! If the gecko lays eggs at a young age it will take a lot of calcium that she needs out of her. You want to feed her quit often and make sure if you feed them crickets that they are covered in brand name calcium powder. Every so often check her cage and make sure she hasn't layed her eggs. It can be dangerous if they aren't put in an incubator for so long.

The males bite the females, typically starting at the tail, and they work their way up to the head. Once they get there they work their body underneath their mates. Males secrete their sperm and the females receive it.

Male Leopard Gecko's can breed as early as 8 months of age. Females are ready to breed at 1 year old. Females should at least weigh 50 grams if not more and they should have a nice fat tail. Males are ready at 45 grams or more. They should also have a fat tail.

Most geckos in captivity will mate all year. Make sure if you only have one female to one male, you keep an eye on them. After the male has mated with her and she becomes gravid, he will want to keep mating with her. This might be to much for the female and cause injury to her. It is best to remove the male until the female fully recovers from egg laying.

In my opinion it is best to keep male and female separate at all times. Introduce the male for breeding only.

As with all reptiles, males mate with females, and transfer sperm, which fertilize the eggs. Eggs then develop inside the female. In leopard geckos, a thin calcium shell is formed, and the eggs will be laid in sets of 2, three or four weeks apart. eggs are somewhat leathery, and are not hard-shelled like bird eggs. Females may lay 8 or more clutches of two eggs, and will store sperm in their body to fertilize the eggs, so only need to breed once in order to do so.

Eggs incubate in a moist, warm area for around 60 days, and then the young geckos emerge, shed their skin, and begin eating. They are on their own. Leopard geckos do not guard their eggs nor care for their young (in fact, they might eat small hatchlings).
