    First Time Breeding BP's
    I got my first lock last night with a normal X Pastel breeding!
    Sorry no pic my phone would be gay and not wanna work at the time!

    So I was curious whats the process after a pair has locked up about how long until I should see female Ovulate?

    It could take months, the best way to have some sort of idea is to palpate the female weekly or so, to check for follicle development & growth.

    So i know ppl with there males do like 4-5 days on and then off should i keep pairing males with her "ex my Albino Male" or is it pretty much set after the first lock that you should stop pairing?

    like everyone stated, keep pairing until you have an ovulation or they won't lock up any more. best to give the male 3-4 days rest every week or so.

    also, it's not really my place, but I'd like to ask respectfully that you not use the word gay in that sort of context. we're not in 8th grade, and although it seems innocuous, it can be pretty offensive.

    I do apologize for using the word! Your totally right. And thanks all for your advice and help!

    Congratulations.

    Depending on the female, the Ovulation can be early or later.. It really just depends. There is no specific schedule, but there is a timeline that can be followed once you see the indicating signs.

    Good luck!
