Possibly Building
In the past week or so I have found my big normal girl wrapped around the water bowl, 3 or 4 times.
When this happened on Saturday gone passed, I decided to take a pic, and get some advice.
She weighs around 2800gr., weigh day is only on June 01st again, and she was a tad over 2600gr. at the last weigh in at the end of April.
Is she building?
if so
When Should I put a Male with Her?
I have not yet done so.

If your female is cooling down (wrapping around a water dish) she is likely developing follicles (building up) unless off course your husbandry is off and she needs to cool down.
Now before and before it is too late would be a good time to pair her, when the follicles are the size of a dime (and on large bulky female it's not always easy to feel) females are prime for breeding, when the follicles are the size of a quarter the females no longer need to be paired.

On Temp Gun, the hot side is 89 and the cool side is 82.
Humidity is at 81%.
I think these temps are spot on, and the humidity is not too bad.
I fed them on Sunday, I am due to do a weigh them on 3 June, and then I will pop my Pastave male in with her.
Would it be okay to put him in for a week, out for a week, repeating until sure there are no further locks.
As always Deborah, a million thanks for your help.

It's ok but really overfilled, I personally don't pair more than 48 hours at the time unless still lock, and I do so once a month of I confirm a visual lock, twice if I do not.

Thank You for the ever valuable advice, I will commence on Sunday after I do a weigh in with the pairing as per your advice.
