Species particularly difficult to breed?

Not really any good places to put this thread. Basically, I was curious if there were any geckos that tend to be harder to breed?

I know rhacodactylus trachyrhynchus tends to be hard because they only lay about two eggs a year.

And it sounds that a lot of Leaftail geckos are because they just don't do the deed often or something.

Are there any more? I had a lot of fun breeding geckos this year, but my females were much more fertile than I had ever expected those supposedly "virgin" girls to be. I'm getting overrun by their offspring, and yet I still have more eggs incubating. So I'm hoping to try to get into something else that won't be...so fertile, I guess, haha. Any suggestions?
Just not something like the Tuatara, which would be nearly impossible to get in general. (Without giving up more than an arm and a leg at least. Pretty much literally)

There's tons of geckos that are not so prolific. It all depends on what type of geckos you enjoy working with. Maybe try some Cat Geckos (A. Felinus). They're a good intermediate level gecko.

Yeah, I just found out they had live birth today. I was told multiple times that they laid eggs specifically, ahaha.

I don't think the cat geckos would be so well though, I'd like to have a gecko that's a bit more handlable.
