    Is This Normal?

    One of my pairs of het albinos have been locked up for over 30 hours now! Is this normal, like does it usually happen? And yes its a "True" Lockup, i can post pictures if you want, but i don't want to bother them too much.

    Well my pastel male and normal female were locked for just under two days, then when I put him in with another female(after a week break and a meal) he stayed locked for 24 hrs. So yeah its normal.

    Totally normal.
    When they separate, move the male back into his enclosure for a few days off

    Careful when you check don't accidentally hurt them. But yea 2 even 3 day locks are normal, remember to give them some time off after they separate.
