Congrats monica! Not to derail your thread but the Q seems appropriate:
Is it ok to just open the tub while theyre in together/locked up? This sounds really pervy but idk how else to put it lol. What i mean is the male wont like pull out really fast and hurt himself or the female will he? Peeping in on them doesnt disrupt the magic haha?
I slide the tub out very slowly and peek in. If I see a lock, I slide it out the rest of the way very slowly to get a pic, then slowly slide it back. If you don't move too quickly you won't spook or upset them and they won't even budge.
