Wheeleri Breeding Weights

[Smithers]

Hey All,

I have a yearling pair of Wheeleri that I'll be putting together after winter and was wondering who have bred these what their females weight was at mating?

Cheers,
Brett

Just weighed mine for you. 25g right now. She had 2 clutches for me last season and she will be breeding again next season.

Cheers for that,......

My Girl is 15g is that comparative to you yearlings?

 

[Grunter023]

Correct. Not sure if this is a good weight. She eats very well,loves her food. She dropped a clutch 3 weeks after I got her last year and then another clutch 3-4 weeks later. Have not put the male back in with her. What month is a good month to start putting male geckos in with the females?

I thought as the longer days and warmth came up around August Sept,...

Was it just the 2 clutch in a season Grunter?

 

[Grunter023]

2 clutches for me yes. I aquired a adult pair. Not sure if she dropped any clutches before that in the same season for the previous owner. She may have.
I am holding onto the 3 hatchies I have now to determine sex. After that I will be selling some. I love my little Wheelies!
I have some Asper due to hatch anyday. Can't wait as it will be my first Asper babies!

Good luck on the impending hatchies,..Thanks for posting

 

[Grunter023]

I just saw that you said your yearlings are 15g. Mine are only a month or two old so still hatchies sorry, so I can't compare for you.

SorrY to hijack but what is the minimum age to pair amyae together? I would think it would be the same for wheelies.

Cheers,

Dan

Not sure. My Amyae are 13 months old and have not did anything for me yet. My Asper where about 9-10 months old when they dropped a clutch for me.

 

[scorps]

I have heard of amyae breeding around 9 months of age, I think it depends on how much weight you put on them compared to age,

 

[turtle]

thanx heaps guys..

Just a followup on breeding age for Amyae, what would be a good weight to breed?

 

[Smithers]

Sorry to hyjack your hyjack,....

Any other breeder know what their female Wheeleri weighed at start of breeding season?

Cheers

Hey Brett,

I dont weigh my Geckos, so I cant really help with weight,.
I moreso go off the size of the gecko.

I have had some that are ready to breed at 10 months old, but then others that are not of size until around 12-15months.

Amyae & Asper are usually at least 1 year old before I would attempt breeding them,. again depending on their size.

Any chance of getting some pics of her?
