Default Before breeding specs

Hello i know i have not posted in a while but i have a couple questions. I was trying to look at Ziggys Calcium sacs and i don't know if i saw anything there really. I am wanting to breed him with one of my friends geckos. I am NOT starting a breeding thing i was just wanting to have the experience with breeding and i already have homes for them all as i am also taking one. But i wanted to know if there is anything i should be mainly concerned about?

As long as your geckos are being fed properly (staple diet is either Clarks or Repashy CGD and occasional gutloaded, dusted bugs) then I wouldn't worry about calcium sacks.

I would just want to be sure all your breeders are up to weight. Personally I shoot for 30g for males and 35-40g minimums for females.

To add to Laura if I may, Ziggy being a male does not necessarily need an over abundance of calcium in order to breed. I'm not promoting malnutrition, the logic behind it is that the female will be the gecko that produces eggs with require high stores of calcium. Regardless of breeding it always healthy to have an abundance of calcium just not 100% necessary for the male side of breeding.
