What do you do with bad breeders?

So what do you do if you get a male that won't breed? How many have you had? Do you just sell them? What do you consider a bad breeder (male)? How long do you give him before you give up on him?

What do you do if it is a female? What do you consider bad? No clutches, small clutches? Have you ever had a male or female attack the one you put in to try and breed with them.

I don't have a whole lot of experience right now, as I have only done four pairings this year, but I can tell you what I have noticed.
I have a couple of males that haven't bred for me this year. I still have them, they are 09' bps and I figured maybe they just didn't care for the female they were paired with.
The 2 pairings I really cared about worked just fine, so I am content.
I have noticed, that some pairings just don't work out. I know that there are things you can do to get the males interested, but as I said above, was content with what happened without doing anything but switching males. Some pairings go quickly and work out great. Some just don't. You can't expect a snake to like any other snake that is randomly put in the tub with them lol.

<------ This albino pos het snow refused to breed for three seasons and was also a problem asf or sometime mouse feeder. He was just over 1000 grams and producing plugs so that wasn't the problem. I sold him as a pet telling the buyer that he would not breed and didn't eat very well. I sold him for 100 bucks.

Don't give up too soon, I have a Lesser het. clown of 1700 grams, I put him in with my clown female from the end of October and....nothing.........

This week he surprised me an was finally locked with her :) so it took him 6 months trying every week.

all of my males (virgins) took 20+ pairings before they figured it out. i was getting really frustrated trying to understand why they wouldnt do anything. i just held on to the idea that they're animals and have 3 basic functions to their existance: eat, reproduce and survive. i believe that sooner or later they'll figure it out. eventually they all did.

reptiles have individual characters, some are awesome top-of-the-totem-pole animals, some are kinda middle of the road "meh, it'll do" and some are like that cousin everybody has that no one really talks about. even your :rolleye2: cousin will someday have kids.

well not an expert but I tried to breed my pastel F to my spider M for months and then finally I threw in a pastel M to not lose the breeding season and they hooked up in less than an hour!! And the two, pastel x pastel, stayed hooked for ages. I didn't give up on my bumblebee wish and finally instead of sitting at opposite sides of her tub, i saw one look between the two. On the other hand the silly spider hooked a ton with my normal F, so maybe some balls don't really like other ones...
