Nugget has a BOYFRIEND????

[Kolton13]

So today I went to a store and they had if I remember what It was correctly a fire Dalmatian crested gecko male. And I learned that nugget is a male. My phone was dead so I have no pics. I’m hopefully gonna get him tomorrow it’s like a 90% chance of getting him. I’m also getting another vertical tank tomorrow for the male and babies when they’re born.(they don’t be together at the same time)

What should I expect with my first ever attempt at breeding reptiles?

Do you mean female because from what I know 2 males can't make babies lol but in all seriousness you should have a breeding box at the bottom so they could lay eggs in their and also give a bit more protein and calcium for better egg development after that I can"t help you for I never reptiles before.

Yeah nugget is a female lol, my bad

Take good care of them feed them more calcium, blah blah blah. Everything that I know of was said by Matteo. Here is a link to a good, reliable website that you may find helpful:

Make sure you have EVERYTHING set up beforehand. I'd quarantine the newcomer for a while anyway so there's no rush.

He’s probably gonna be in with nugget for like a few minutes while I setup his enclosure. He’s a really cool crested and I think I’ll name him domino or ace.

 

[Hendre]

No find a separate container, you want to keep an eye on them during first introductions. And quarantine is still important.

 

[Deadeye]

Make sure they are only together when you want them to breed. The male will harass nugget if it wants to breed but she doesn’t, so you need to have two separate enclosures.

I agree with Deadeye and Hendre. Separation is going to be key for this all to work, along with a nice long quarentine. Without a quarentine your are putting nugget at risk of catching any parasites, viruses or diseases that the new guy may or may not have. Even if the new guy isn't showing symptoms he may still be carrying something nasty with him. So it's always best to quarentine for a month or 2 just to be 100% certain your aren't going to accidentally infect nugget with something.
