    Male not interested...some advice?

    My male cinny is being a turd and not showing interest in my girls. I have paired him with atleast 4 nice ladies, and he's intent to just coil up on the opposite side of them or maybe next to them. I know some breeders throw a male in with another male to help initiate breeding responses, but how safe is this? I don't want either of my males injured. Is there anything else I can do to get him interested in my girls?

    I would use a males fresh shed that is producing plugs that has worked for me and also removing both snakes and letting another male roam the cage then take him out and put the original par together my 2 cents best of luck.

    How big is he in grams? How old is he? Does he have sperm plugs?

    I had no shed on hand but i took my normal male out of his tub (the males was not together) and put my male mojo in there for a hour, put him back in the tub with the female and in about 10mins he was all over her and got a lock that night

    If this is his first season and he is producing sperm plugs then he might just be a slow starter. With my enchi male who was 500g the first time he locked I paired him with one of my female during a storm. Then when I paired him with another female he didn't seem interested so I got some sperm from one of my other males and wiped it on her back. I haven't had to do anything like that since. I put him in and with 24 hours he's locking with her and for 12+ hours at a time.

    I'm also doing a night drop so that might be helping with my success in pairing. My heat tape basically goes off at night and their whole tub drops to about 82-83 degrees.

    Re: Male not interested...some advice?

    With out a size and such I can't say much but that you gotta give him time.
    I don't mean with the female I mean time to himself. I've never cooled to breed
    any of my boys or females. When the boys are ready there ready and theyll do there thing if the female does or doesn't want to.

    He's sitting at 680 grams empty and about 2 1/2 years old. I have placed him in a tub with a female after another male has been in there, and their heat tape gets shut off at night. I know last year my male spider took a few months to actually start doing his business, though nothing was produced by him.

    I will try the other males sperm suggestion, I need him to make my pewters, lol.

    Thanks for all the suggestions everyone!
