Most professional breeders retire their geckos around 6-8 years anyways.

The United States is chock full of leopard and crested geckos, there is really no need to add to the overpopulation. If people you know and trust want leopard geckos, it might be better to go through a rescue or adopt an unwanted animal from craigslist or petfinder. There are tons of geckos that are cast off and already need homes.

You shouldn't just breed your leopard geckos without having a gameplan for the babies.

Are you going to keep them? Or sell them? Or give them to a pet store? What if you hatch the babies, but you find that no one wants them?

You need to figure out the answers to these questions first. After you have made sure that they have a place to go, then you need to think about:

Do you have the room for extra tanks to place the young? Do you have the money to support them?

Breeding your geckos shouldn't be a "spur-of-the-moment" idea. You need to prepare first.[/quote]

Why do you think they want the information? So he/she can learn how to breed them. They obviously do not know, so they are trying to learn. The only thing that would concern me about someone who doesn't know alot about breeding is sex determination, breeding age, calcium, and incubation. Which they can easily learn through the plethora of information about breeding leos available.

Here is a pretty good site that will tell you everything you need to know. Why are you in such a hurry to breed them?
