so today I put my male leopard gecko in with two of my females and they showed no interest in each other for awhile but eventually he tried to breed with my largest female, Piper. He went to bite her tail in the way that they are supposed to while breeding and she ran off really fast. He did the same thing with my slightly smaller female, Reyna, only he went for her neck. She also ran off. I don't understand why neither of them would take to breeding, I cooled them and everything. My male, Percy, was trying to escape the girls' viv after they both turned him down and so I took him out when I noticed that and I saw that he was bleeding in two spots. One on his head and one bite on his shoulder. I know that the males will bite the females to encourage breeding but I can't figure out why they attacked him. I do know for sure that Reyna and Piper are definitely girls and Percy is definitely a boy so that's not the issue. Can someone please help me figure out how to breed them safely or if they won't even breed at all? It is quite disappointing because I have put a lot of money into an incubator and a rack for the hatchlings and now I'm afraid that I won't have any babies to do continue my project with. If it makes any difference none of them have ever bred before, Percy is over five years old and the girls are both adults but I do not know how many years old they are.
Thank you for any advice you can give,
