As someone who has never had any experience in breeding ANY reptiles, I have to admit I was a little horrified at how feisty they get, I had to turn off the noise as it just made me cringe, lol.

Great video though

i couldnt believe that they made that noise either....kind of freaked me out

at least now i know why they are called "barking geckos"

Well, that was fun. It all looked pretty normal to me. She was rather defensive, but she will warm up to him. The tail biting and vocalizations are common. When she's ready, she will allow him to breed with her. Like I told you before, leave him in there for several days at a time. If you feel he is stressing her out too much, remove him and try again later. How old is the female? Is it "normal" behavior? Animals do some crazy things in the heat of passion. You should see/hear some of my R. leachianus go at it. That will wake you up from a deep sleep.

She is just ovr a year old. I am leaving the male in a few days at a time. After that incident though, they acked like nothing happened...I heard some more noises in the morning, but that was it. They warmed up to each other eventually, though I think as they were "cuddling" under the warm spot

Mike,
It's very interesting to see your milii breeding video. I've never heard anything like that... lol I think the sound make it much more exciting...
I'm new at breeding reptiles, I've only seen my leopard geckos doing it. I still think it's kinda crazy that they bite and nip each other. But like Nathan said, "in the heat of passion"... :P

A couple days ago I caught my levis pair doing it. They seem very peaceful, the female levis only wiggles it's tail... Hehehe it's funny.
I'll try to post it in the next couple days.
