Re: Male has lost his mojo
Honestly looks like your close to an egg or two. the swelling is usually more tapered but that is when carrying more than 2 eggs. That truly looks like she is carrying maybe 2 eggs.

This is an ovulation:

I wouldn't worry about whether or not they locked. I just got a clutch from a Pastel female that I only ever saw copulate once back in January and she ovulated on March 27th and laid on Saturday (May 21). All six eggs are fertile. That male is the only male that's been in with her for two years, so...
