I thought my female had ovulated as she has a definite bulge, however my little black pastel has continued locking with her, so not too sure at what stage she is at..the little guy is quite forceful to the extent that h ehas even locked with another definite male lol! maybe he has just refused to accept she doesnt want too
Building is often mistaken for ovulation. Best thing to do is count down 30 days after next shed and look for eggs, cant hurt. After ovulation most females will stay on the warm side coiled up.
