    First lock!!! And opinions needed please

    Ok to clarify, this isn't the first lock for this pair just the first lock Becky and I have ever had. I picked up this trio last week and the previous owner stated he witnessed several (10 plus) locks between these two recently but I reintroduced the male last night and this morning saw this...



    Anyway I have palpated her and Becky has also and we both feel follicles in her I think they are about golf ball size Becky says smaller but either way they are there. Here is a picture of her...



    So this is our first ever experience with breeding so please forgive the plethora of stupid questions which I will no doubt ask in the coming weeks and months.

    Does she look gravid judging by that pic? Also, when should I stop introducing the male? Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated.

    We really hadn't anticipated breeding until next season but this trio came priced right and so we figured if we get one or two clutches this year it would be good practice without being inundated with a lot more next season. This way we can get a little experience under our belt first. Again any and all help and advice is appreciated thanks in advance.

    She won't be gravid until she ovulates. If you are still feeling follicles then she hasnt ovulated yet. Good luck with them! Keep introducing that male!

    As stated above...if you feel follicles she is not gravid. Also...Most females quit locking with the male once they ovulate.
