older geckos and breeding

[sajane]

i have a group of 3 female panther geckos. They produced hundreds of babies in their younger years. They are 6 years old now. I dont want anymore babies but would like the male to beable to live with the girls again. Do females ever lose their ability to lay eggs?

Hi there!
I dont have any specimen that old, but it´s hard to imagine that they would stop laying at 6 years of age.
Im no expert, so maybe someone else in here have a better answer for you.
But 6 years still seem like a good age for a gecko

I'm not a panther gecko breeder. With my leopard geckos, at a certain point the females either stop ovulating and laying, or lay only infertile eggs. What I have heard about panther geckos is that they are very prolific and often "lay themselves to death" so I"m impressed that yours have gone for 6 years. I would assume that you'd have the most success keeping them healthy by removing the male.

that is the point, they have been removed from the male for a few years now but he is very unhappy . i think i found the answer though. i put him next to the girls so they can see each other through the glass. he is back to hanging out and about to impress them
