Gecko Breeding Game
Geckos are among the most colorful lizards in the world. They range from 0.6 to 24 inches in size. The longest is the Kawekaweau, which is extinct, whereas, the shortest is the Jaragua Sphaero. Being nocturnal creatures, they have excellent night vision, and some can also change colors at night. Most ground-dwelling geckos possess great camouflaging properties, which help them hunt their game.House geckos live in human habitations, and are often welcomed, as they get rid of insects and mosquitoes. Geckos are unique to the lizard family.
Due to their vocalizations, they produce a variety of sounds, from chirps to squeaks. A majority of the species of geckos also have excellent adhesive abilities; each of their footpads have spatula-shaped setae (bristle-like structures) arranged in lamellae (lamellae are small plate-like structures, often seen on fish gills), which enables them to stick to all kinds surfaces easily without the use of any fluid. It is observed that geckos cannot hold on to Teflon for longer periods due to its low surface energy.A very interesting but useful feature of geckos is their ability to hyper-extend their toes in a way of a peeling action. So, when a gecko needs to step forward on a vertical wall, it peels of the toes of two legs and sticks them forward, and then does the same with the other pair of legs. All geckos shed their skin at regular intervals, and the presence of moisture speeds up this process.
Crested geckos are one of the easiest reptiles to keep, and also one of the easiest to breed. This makes them a popular pet in the hobby, and prone to mass production without regard to genetic diversity, structure, health & fitness.
Do you add water at all to the container? Do you have holes in it?
I’ve found that if the Superhatch dries out, adding water can “drown” the eggs because they adjust to the moisture around them during development. I recommend keeping the container air tight, adding water very gradually only if needed, and keeping the container in a cabinet with a water dish to further regulate humidity. Sort of like with baking bread if you are familiar with that trick.I wouldn’t worry too much unless the female shows signs of weight loss, like droopy crests and protruding hip bones. Sometimes they skip a month or two. The water dish should be outside the actual incubation container, but inside another cabinet (on a different shelf) that holds the incubation container. So you are putting both the incubator and a dish of water in another closed container to help maintain the humidity at a steady level.And yes, sometimes they do hold on to eggs a little bit longer, without being eggbound.

I have heard (but have no scientific reference for it) that they can re-absorb the eggs and not lay at all. Females seem to have several sets of eggs developing at any given time so they can lay off schedule without much issue. But you should definitely keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t become egg bound. Signs are lethargy, dehydration, weight loss but with a swollen abdomen (due to eggs), protruding hip bones, drooping crests and overall odd behavior. That’s when a vet trip is necessary. I’m ready to breed my Cresties.Last year my female rejected the male actually knocking him off the branch -he was so afraid he hid in the corner for a day until I put him back in his separate enclosure. I did that tried re-introducing them.
Now I year later I’d like to try again I have some new substrate Moss. That is super soft and they have both gained weight and look healthy. Do you have any advice for helping her not reject him? She’s a beautiful 2 1/2 yr harlequin and he’s a 4 yr outstanding Dalmatian. What time of day should I put him into her enclosure? I have a female and two males. Can a crested gecko mate with one and then the other and then choose which ones she’ll lay or will the sperm mix and she’ll lay a mix of both?
She’s already mated with one male once but tbh, I’d rather mate her with my fashion than the bicolored male which was the one she first mated with. That one was unintentional but it was too late by the time I’d realized they had gotten together as I’d had them both out and had them in separate areas when I ran to answer the phone and came back then they had already gotten together.
He’s a quick little bugger, lol. Hi i have a 1 1/2 yr old male bicolor and a 2 yr old female flame, i assume, both together in a bigger plastic tub with ventilation holes plenty of vines with a warm humid lay box i mist once a day moderately leave a few crickets along with the gecko diet i have a seal tight incubation container for eggs and a seperate container for the male during off seasons i have snakes but never got into lizards/geckos but i would like to know if everything sounds right for them to breed. Temps stay from around 70/79 they have 12 hiurs of artificial house lamps from around my home and 12 hours of darkness.
