TIPS: Getting a male to breed for his 1st time
I just thought with breeding season upon us, we could post some tips for getting a first time male to breed.
What tips can you pass on?

Re: TIPS: Getting a male to breed for his 1st time
Put an immature male in with a mature female for a week or two, add another male to one thats with a female but not interested in her, encourage a little male combat by putting males together for a few minutes, put the male with the female when shes just freshly shed, im sure other people have plenty of other tips they can add....

Drop the temps and introduce them.
I never put 2 males together to combat with each other...

Tried it a few times several years ago and all it seemed to do was stress them all out. Was a hell of a thing to witness though...

Oddly this has been true with pretty much every reptile / fish / darn near anything I have attempted to breed.

Put them together when there is low barometric pressure. It makes them frisky.

Pair early and often between meals.
I have used many methods and I have 400g males locking this year already. Never hurts to throw a "Pro-male" shed in the tub when you pair a young male. I always pop younger males before I toss them in with a female. I have thrown a few younger males in a tub together with a 800g Pro breeder and immediately paired after that.
Both my 1.0 Bananas are May/June 2013 hatches and at 400g+ they are locking with plugs. I had a 2012 Enchi Fire locking at 380g with plugs last season. He's a Pro now.
