    Hi,

    Well here are some of the standard tricks.

    Feed the female one or two days before.

    Mist the enclosure.

    Check the surface pressure forecast at your local weather station and introduce when a low pressure front is rolling in.

    Wipe sperm from another male on the females back.

    Put a shed from a female he has locked with ion the tub with them.

    Put the female he has already locked with in the tub with them.

    Put a shed from another male in the tub with them.

    That's all I can remember offhand - anyone got any more?

    Pair when a cold front or storm are coming - Low pressure is your friend ;).

    Use shed from other animals in the enclosure, don't forget to mist the shed.

    Pair with a female that just shed.

    Mist the enclosure.

    Use a sperm plug from another male and put smear it on the female's back.

    Put two females in the same enclosure with the male.

    Switch bedding and use the bedding of a strong breeder.
