I just wanted to get a general consensus from everyone who has breeding pairs of geckos. Do you usually separate the males and females over the winter months, or do you keep them together and just cool the cages down to discourage egg laying?
I have a breeding pair who were just introduced in August and mated right away. The female is 3 yrs old and is around 53g and the male is just over a year and weighs 34g. She laid her first clutch of eggs on Sept. 17th (which hatched on Oct. 30th) and she laid a 2nd clutch on October 29th.
I can't tell yet if she is pregnant again. I have been keeping the cage temp at around 69 during the day and down to 63 at night. They get about 6-7 hours of daylight each day now. Will this be enough to 'cool' them down for a few months, or do I have to set up a new cage just for the male?
