Breeding help please crested geckos

[jccresties]

My male crested gecko has been chirping and rubbing up against my female for the past 2-3 nights but she starts barking and jumping away, what should I do?

How large is your enclosure and how much foliage/hiding areas does it have ? I find with a large enough area with plenty of cover the females will be able to avoid a voluntary male. When she ready, she will accept the males attentions. Be sure she gets plenty of calcium ( I calcium dust the weekly crickets). Also if able introduce a second or third female.

Looking at your enclosure, I would suggest more cover. What I do is use silk plants from a place like Michaels, cheaper than petshop plants. Also a darker substrate would help.
