New pictures & question about tank!

[Jessy]

Hey all, I thought I'd share some better pictures of my leopard gecko, who I've now decided to call Cleo as she's such a little cutie.

Sorry for the bad quality, camera's are never that great on phones.

Just curious, how many gal is a 3ft[length] by 2ft[width] tank?
Also is it big enough to eventually put a male in with her?

I'm wanting to leave for a lttle to settle in, and get a male pretty soon, leave him and then introduce them both. I can't think of anything better than to have little leopard babies to care for. I just need to make sure she's settled in okay & that the boy who I get will suit her, I don't want her stressing out as she's such a darling.

I couldn't believe how fast she wolfed down her crickets today, she even wanted more and I gave her plenty! She has a habbit of tapping on the glass at the front of her tank to get my attention, cheeky!

Also; is it a bad idea to breed at this time of year? Well it'll be in about a month, 2 months. I know it's better to breed between feb and august but I wasn't sure if it's still possible to breed at other times, and be successful.

All help is greatly appreciated, thanks guys
hope you all & your little critters are okay!

xx Jessy

Here are a few notes in response to your questions:

Here's a website with tank dimensions:
Everything Fishy Aquarium Backgrounds

Most geckos seem to ovulate in the late winter and spring. You could breed if your female ovulates

Your female needs to be at least 9 months (over a year is better) and over 50 grams. I can't tell from the picture if this is the case.

If you get a new gecko, you would need to quarantine him for at least a month for best results to make sure no one gets anyone else sick

Before breeding make sure you have the incubator and all the necessary info. Be sure you have places to put the babies.

Sand is not the best substrate for leopard geckos because of danger of impaction, although some people do put their adults on sand. Babies should definitely not be on sand.

I hope this is helpful.

she is cute you can put a male in there but like acpart said they will only breed if the female is ovulating i keep my pair together all year round and they only mate like in april but.. they codmate soner or later if you do a cooling period and then warm t back up
