    Why is this?

    When introducing my male and female one is always wandering and the other is lazy. During the first introduction i put the male in the females tub and the female just lays there and the male wonders around. So the second time around i put the female in the males tub and the male lays there and the female wonders around. Would it work to put them in a nuetral site so they both are active. Her tub is heating by a 75W night bulb and his is heated by an UTH.

    How long are you leaving them alone together?

    not every introduction results in a lock. The female is likely the cause if you don't get locks I find male are almost always ready.

    put him in there and leave him in there for 2-3 days. dont bother them often. they stay locked up for hours (or days) so there is no need to be constantly looking

    being active is not a sign of anything other than exploring a new place.

    keep at it you will eventually get your locks.. no hurry here it takes months and months before you will get eggs.

    Try leaving them in for more then 3 days.... sometimes a few more or a week does the trick.
