We have a forum for AFT's. So I'm moving this thread for you. In the future, please make sure that you post your questions in the proper forum.
Thanks

There are a lot of things to take into account with fat tails, just like with any gecko:

--are the females ovulating?
--will the females let the male mate?
--is the male fertile?

If the answer to any of these questions is "no" , then you will not be successful breeding. You may have to wait till next year since this is the end of the breeding season for many (though not all) reptiles.

How can I see if they are ovulating, is it the same as with leos?

I find it a little harder to see with fatties because they don't seem to be as "transparent" as the leos, but essentially it's the same.

Fat Tails need to go through a brumation period. (That is a semi hibrination for the winter). My fatties were cooled in October into the 60's and I barely fed them. I put the female and male together in January and they produceed viable eggs for me in February. Got my first hatchling in April. I had a 60 % hatch rate this year with my fat tails using a hovebator and perlite as the hatching medium.
Hope that helps? Really, as other people stated above, patience is the key.

Sorry but I don't understand your last question at all, could you either re-word or clarify what you mean?
