breeding is all up to them but once they have 'done the deed' the female will start digging up sand to make a nest. once she lays the eggs put them directly into a incubator. u can get one at most tractor supply places for hatching chickens. there are ones made of styrofoam that are pretty cheap. u will also need vermiculite to put in there to hold in moisture. put the vermiculite along the bottom and place the eggs on top then partial bury them so u can just see i little bit of the egg. make sure they do not get standing water on them. if they start to yellow or cave in there is not enough moisture so try to up it but if they dont perk back up then remove the bad eggs immediatly so they dont get the good one infected.

For me it was really easy. It's funny too because the male will shake his tail and then my female would try to shake hers back, but can't 'vibrate' hers as fast. I think that's how males determine which sex is in their home. If the other gecko vibrates his tail back, the first male may attack. But if the tail shaking is slower, its a female and he will court her.
I put a small Rubbermaid container (those reusable food ones) with a hole cut in top for the girl to lay her eggs in with vermiculite in it. Then incubated the eggs with a homemade incubator. You can make one yourself by setting up a fish aquarium with about 4 inches of water and an aquarium heater. Then having the eggs (in container) elevated above the water and the aquarium covered. I also put the outdoor tip of an indoor/outdoor thermometer in to confirm constant temperature. (I have since bought a chicken egg incubator which is EASIER, but NOT more effective). Either commercial or homemade incubators will do the trick if you keep temp and humidity at proper level. Theres tons of info on the web. Just look it up. Leos are easy to breed and fun pets :)

leopard geckos will breed when they want , but its best to have a container with ahole cur out that they can get in and out of easily with asoft substrate. Don't use sandit can build up in their intestine its it can't be digested i use a substrate made out of crushed walnut shells i buy at petsmart its very easy to clean up too iit works like kitty litter it clumps up

First, line their tank with extra plush velvet. Next, light some candles. Finaly, add an expensive, but not outrageous red wine and put on "Time Of The Season" by the zombies. It should take itself from there.
