Breeding virgins

[Ryan denmark]

HI long time listener first time caller.I have 5 virgin females ranging from 1500-2000 grams that show no interest in any male placed with them and vise versa the males dont seem to show an interest in them.There all two and a half to three years of age healthy and funtion well.Im not into cooling so much as just changeing the lighting and I have had good luck with that for the past three years.Also I have 3 males 6-700 gram showing no interest and I thing I have tried everything from marking her with other males sperm to puting the males together.One of my good breeding males that breed 3 otheres this year repeatatly .has less than no intrest. IM LOST hope someone with some know how can help

how long are you leaving them in together??

[Ryan denmark]

About 3 in 3 out

[LotsaBalls]

How long have you been pairing them?

PATIENT and Keep Trying is the key, virgin's tend to take a few tries to figure it out. Mist the tank a little when you put them together.
In my experience, my virgin male spider took at least 3 introduction to know what to do, the fourth try, he went it
All the best !

i put two vrigins together and within an hour they were locked up and stayed that way for two days, and it was a good lock from the beginning. just keep pairing them and eventually they will figure it out. also, they are sexed correctly right??

It took over 6 parings before my females started with my male! When a storm is coming, pair them together! A storm seems to get them feeling frisky!

[SlitherinSisters]

Do you have any experienced males or are they all virgins as well? Like others have said, keep pairing and if there is a storm coming that's the best time! I have three virgin girls that have all been breeding for me as well as a virgin male. Just give it some time and let it happen, I'm sure it will!

Actualy I have been pairing for the better part of three months with four virgin males and one that has given me one good clutch last year.So if my guy with a little experiance wont touch her does that meen she just aint ready?It is posible she is only two years old now but she is pushin 2kg so I dont think the age thing would have anything to do with this girl.NO I do not power feed she just really grew and no shes not over weight for her length.And I do mist them.After 3months of pairing shouldnt one lock with her.

She is young! Only some will breed their 2nd winter, most won't until their 3rd winter! She is the right size but may not be mature enough inside! All you can do is keep trying and cross your fingers! Good luck!
