Question about male temperament
In your experience, have you noticed a difference in the temperament of male leos compared to female leos? Like has anyone ever noticed if male leopard geckos are more jumpy/active than females, or vise versa?
I know that as juvies, leopard geckos can be a bit more jumpy than adults but I am wondering if anyone has noticed a difference between sexes.
Thanks for your thoughts

+1 for more relaxed Males. The two males that I have are much more relaxed than my females. Males are super calm, females are as sketchy as farm cats! Everything is ok untill someone moves too quickly!

I can't really say, I have calm and jumpy ones in both genders. I have very calm males and a couple skiddish ones, and same with the girls. Essentially it comes down to the individual gecko.

Bummer, thats not what I wanted to hear. Only because I want my new gecko to be male (he's too young to tell yet). He/she is super jumpy, much more so than my other leo(female), I was hoping that his jumpy-ness is a trait of males since my other was super calm from the get go.
I know that his jumpy-ness is not a way to determine the gender but I was just hoping.
I will just keep hoping for a boy, I check once in a while but it's still too young to tell.
One other question. I know that female leopard geckos can get (infertile) eggs without having a male, but will that always happen? I have had my girl for 2 years now and she has never had eggs.

No, I have girls over 3-4 years old and they never lay infertile eggs alone. So it's not something that has to happen, so you don't have to worry about it

+1, and also juvies tend to be really jumpy/insane regardless of gender. With adult animals, from what I've experienced with my 15, is that males tend to be more laid back than females.
I've got two young males right now that are absolutely crazy so don't let the jumpyness fool you, it can go for either gender.  |

Ok. Thanks. I will keep my fingers crossed for a boy. I really want to breed them although I will have to wait a while since my new baby is truly a baby (1-2 months).

Yeah, you've got a while to wait. If you end up with a female and you want a male it would be a good idea to just pick up a visually sexed male. |
