I’ve collected tidbits of info here and there, but every source says something different. I need to know exactly what months Fat Tails begin and end breeding (typically), if I should cool down/“brumate” them beforehand, food levels during each stage, and how to pair the geckos with the highest success rate for breeding them. So far, I’ve had no dice 
and I’ve got some od the most stunning “normals” too!

There’s not a whole lot of information about these, especially for breeding. I’m assuming they are similar to leopard geckos (not the exact same, but a similar concept), so the breeding months should be similar, or the same. I don’t think brumation is necessary, but cooling them in the winter is recommended to cycle them so the female produces eggs. I recommend feeding the females a lot during the process (mainly after I had a female fast for a long time and loose a ton of weight, she’s doing great now).
I’m planning on getting 3-4 of these (1 or 2 pairs of them). So, if you find a good care/breeding sheet I’d love it if you could share it here. I’m going to do some research this week on breeding them, and if I find good information I’ll share it here.
Also, your geckos are super cute. 
I read through some care sheets and it looks like cooling is necessary. This is a summary of what I’ve found:
To breed, males need to be 8 months old and 40 grams. Females need to be 9 months old and 50g.
Cool them in November. Stop feeding them and lower the temperature 2* per day until the hot spot is 78*. Be sure there is always fresh water and continue to not feed them. 4 weeks later raise the temperature back up 2* per day and start feeding them when it is back up.
About 3 weeks later, pair the male to the female. If you don’t confirm them breeding, repeat 1-2 times a week for a day at a time for 2-3 weeks.
From there it is the same as leos. Give the female a lay box and observe for eggs. Don’t pair them again and the female will lay 3-5 clutches of 2 eggs.
