Having a problem... male refuses to breed now?
I bred Yukon to Blissey first in the beginning of November, something like November 5th. I had to use the "put another male in" tactic to get Yukon to breed, and then he locked with her twice within a few days then.
It's been over a month before I'm trying to pair them again, and the male refuses to breed now and shows no interest at all. He also seems worn out (even after doing nothing) after a couple days, like a limp noodle when I took him back out. (I tried putting another male in again, but it didn't do anything this time)
I understand sometimes it just doesn't work out, so I waited something like 4 days and paired them again... left them at it for another 2 days, tried the adding a male trick again- still no interest from the male.
I don't think the female is even close to ovulation, after staring at her some more LOL. She's thick in the middle, but doesn't have that thick tail end that ovulating females have. So I don't think that's the reason. And that they've only locked once/twice.
Tips on what's going on with the male? I wouldn't really mind if I don't get a clutch, but I'd like to find out why he's suddenly no interest in breeding.
Info on my snakes:
male is around 850g and 1 year 3 months old
female is a 2012 and over 2000g, has had a few clutches before
