    All I can say is 'Patience' :)

    At least yours get close to each other! My spider female simply will not become interested in any male! She's an '06 and weighs almost 2000g and is being so slow..... :(

    I just remind myself that breeding season is a long time and patience will be rewarded....at some point :oops:

    Patience is the way to go. :)

    Also be sure and get the male in with the female while she is in shed and during weather changes. That's the best time to get lock ups.

    Hope that helps and best of luck!

    sometimes my snakes take 4 days to start mateing, try leaving nthem together an extra day. As long as the male is showing interest in her, he should be trying to get close to her, mine lay on top of eachother for about 3 days and wind up mateing on the 4th day. Thats just my experiences, maybe it s worth a shot to try the extra day. Good luck:gj:

    The smaller number of animals one is breeding the easier it is to be stoked or bummed. 3 pairs lock -- YES!!! 3 don't NOOOO!!!! It truly is a long season. Try upping your humidity and spray them in the evening. Best of luck.:D

    Yeah the spray trick works wonders with my animals.. Also leave him in there for a week.. A couple of my males take 4-5 days to lockup and then my blk pastel locks with every female within hours.. Anyways good luck with the season and like everyone else said you gotta have patience..
