Introducing a Crested Gecko Breeding Pair Safely
Quick answer
Introduce a breeding pair under direct supervision, watching for signs of stress or aggression, and separate them immediately if either animal shows sustained avoidance, biting, or injury.
- Method
- Supervised introduction
- Watch for
- Aggression or sustained avoidance
Before pairing
Both animals should be at a healthy adult weight, free of any known health issues, and — for the female — old and large enough that egg production won't be an excessive strain.
During the introduction
Supervise the first meeting rather than leaving the pair unattended overnight, and have a separate enclosure ready in case they need to be split up.
