Tips For Reluctant Breeders?

Be sure to leave him in there during the shed. A lot of times you'll get locks during shed. I'm not quite sure why, but some pairs seem to always lock during shed. GL

Okay thanks alot, ill leave him in there then. I hate how the pictures i take never bring out the colors for these guys though... The bee looks so much more whitish yellow in person and even in shed the pastel is a nice yellow.

Oh and also, i felt for follicles again and she has them, plus shes wrapping around her water bowl... Shes definitly ready but its killing me shes not breeding.. Ive been looking foward to killer bees since the day i got him=[

She went through a shed with no luck... How long should i wait till i just throw her to my pastel male because i dont want to loose out on another year with her.... I could throw her to a spider male, but i mean i have bees, id love some super pastels. Its realy urking me though. 1.5months n no locks, unless i miss them but i doubght that because i check the tub atleast once a day...

oh, and i tried the male shed in the tub with them.. No luck :mad:

Put them together when there is a storm front moving in. A day or so before, always seems to work for me.:snake:

How long have you been leaving him in there for ? Try her with another male if you don't want to loose a season with her, You never know he could be a shy breeder. My het clown male is the same haven't seen a lock and my females got folicles :( but I have seen him 'trying' to court her so I'm staying optimistic lol.

Good luck

theve been together because a storm just hit... =/
