Are there any special breeding patterns for leos and i.e: regular leos and regular leos will give regular leo offspring. If you know please tell me (and when are the usual breeding season for leopard geckos?)

Leopard gecko genetics are extremely complicated, there are dozens of color phases, some dominant, some co-dominant, some recessive... it takes years of studying and trial and error breeding to figure that out. That's what makes color phases so valuable. Breeding season runs March-September, roughly. I hope you know however that it's extremely difficult to breed Leos successfully. The geckos must be over 2 years old, in good body weight, and most of them prefer to be cooled over the winter or else they won't breed. Even if you get them to lay eggs, you have to buy a professional incubator to maintain them at the proper temperatures, and substrate to keep them humid but not wet or else they'll mold. Your questions make it sound like you're just going to buy a bunch of geckos and try this, and I urge you not to. Female leos very often die after their first clutch if they haven't been prepared properly for it, and the eggs are very difficult to get through to hatching. It's not for amateurs.
