Wouldn't the albino have trouble with UV light?


Vibrating tail. The other creature I've seen doing that is male silkworm moth in front of a female one. Sounds like at least he was excited in front of a female.

thanks! im not sure about the male and the uv, leopard geckos do not need uvb light, but it also doesnt hurt them either, i currently dont have an extra bulb laying around to try, i need to order some more for the chameleons anyways :p and the female does in fact have two eggs in her belly, so maybe he was just trying to see if she would respond and be receptive? but she is not..was just an idea :p

Well, boys will be boys If they get along you should be able to leave them together, and his mind may be on, well, you know . If you do use any UVB on them, don't use anything more than like a reptisun 2.0, unless it is over 12" away. And just an idea, what I use on the few I have in tanks, is a black heat light, and just leave it on 24/7. They get daylight from the room their in, and the black bulb just provides heat.

If she is gravid, You would be best off to make her a lay box. You can also use that for the moist hide. I have both in my breeding tub, and they all use the lay box for a moist hide. I don't have a picture of the actual box in my leo tub, but here is the exact same thing I use with my small boas for a moist hide.



It's a ziplock box, about 3" tall, with about 2" of moist coconut fiber in it, and a hole cut in the top. Those are 11"x7", whatever size you can find should work, just make sure she has enough room to crawl around and dig around a little. I put them on the warmer side of the tub. And since you can see through the bottom, you can normally see the eggs on the bottom of the tub without digging around.

I like the coconut fiber quite a bit actually, but you can use moist sphagnum, anything they can dig in and keep moist.
