Can anyone help Question

I have one male and one female leo. I think they are around 7months. We got them very young and they have always lived together. I am just about to add another female into the pair, i have made sure she is the same size etc as the other Leo's.

When should i be expecting some eggs Question

how old should they be before they lay Question

the male will probably be ready to mate soon but the females wont be they usualy have to be at least a year and around 40-50g what do yours weight? if they are mated now there could be complications with laying the eggs etc

Male 27g
Female 25g

Is this low as they both eat loads and their tails are a good size.

Yeah I would say thats too low to breed them yet Clare. I have no experience breeding, but from what I've read females need to be 50 grams + as do males.

My female is 37g (after going AWOL for 7 months!!!) and my male is 40g. They seem very hard to put on weight, but my male was attempting to mount her when we put them together the other day. She was non-receptive and started biting back, so I took her out again.

Maybe next year. Crying or Very sad
