This is my first year attempting to breed and I was starting to get a little discouraged. I had placed my Banana male with three different females multiple times each but didn't see any visual locks. I did see him court the females and only two of them seemed interested wagging their tails and scenting all over the tub. I tried adding the shed skin from my 2010 Clown male in with the Banana and the female, watched the weather and tried to plan pairings when it rained but got the same results. Until todayI came back from biking with my dog and decided to pull out the tub they were in because it was sticking part way when removing it and found them locked. When I would check on them before I would check in the morning when I woke up and before I went to sleep. So maybe he could have locked with them before and I was checking at the wrong times. I dont know if its related but the female Pied he is locked with just started eating again. She shed 12/06 and ate 12/28 & 01/01 and before that her last meal was 09/28.
