That first picture above looks more like he's just tail wrapping. He's under her vent, but his isn't near it. That doesn't mean he hasn't had a successful lock yet, but he's at least trying. My normal male had a lot of false locks before I caught him doing it right, lol. Here's one I just took of him and my more promising female this season. Between him and the pin this girl should be good to go, crossing my fingers she ovulates!



And a blurry one of the same girl with my pin (sadly the only morph remotely interested in breeding)
