Ok, I live in southern CA and I started my season Thanksgiving weekend and began cooling. Every pair has locked up multiple times, so no problems on the breeding end of things. But, NO ovulations yet

So, here's my questions:

1) For those of you that get clutches later in the year (late summer and even Fall clutches), did you start your season later in the year? Or did you start in the Fall and your ladies just went late?

2) I began warming temps back up at the end of February. Are females likely to build follicles and ovulate long after temps are returned to normal?

3) When do you stop trying... I can't expect these males to breed all year and hope for an ovulation. They need a vacation at some point! Do you stop pairing at a certain time in the year and hope that sperm is retained if they ovulate later?

Grrr...just feeling a wee left out with all of the ovy and egg posts Lots of breeding here but nothin' else.

Thanks to all in advance that have insight, information, or just plain, "hang in there" comments! Continued best wishes to all.
