Hey loon just another thing I didn't see if u left him in for a few days but another thing that does happen every once in awhile is you miss a lock. I know last year I bred a male to a female and was kinda like you I think I'm gonna give up and I did and didn't pair her with another male and the day I was about to I pulled her tub to place another male with her she was ovulating first thoughts was sperm retention or something else might be going on we'll I hatched the clutch and sure enough he got the job done and I never saw a lock from them!
