    need some advise/guidance

    As the title says, I am in need of some advise/guidance,

    I got a big normal 100% hypo female that weighs over 3000 grams, she is a proven breeder but hasn't been bred for the last 2 years,
    A proven Mojave female who laid eggs last season but she is back up to weight,
    an 2013 Orange Ghost female that is +/- 1700 grams
    and a Lesser Pastel female that is +/- 1650 grams

    I have been introducing males to the girls AND nothing happens...

    I placed a male in with my Lesser pastel female earlier this year and seen multiple locks but she didnt ovulate nothing so I tried to keep pairing her but no locks anymore,
    The Orange Ghost female has been locked with my Clown male a couple of times but nothing happened and again no locks anymore....

    The Mojave female I bought in Juni this year wouldn't lock a male last week, this week ( I know a bit soon but i was/am kinda afraid she wont go and my first season will be a fail as the other girls don't seem to be going either) with a different male and again no succes and the 100% het female I tried to pair (2 weeks ago she is in shed now) and she also didn't lock though the male was trying (same male that had locked with my Lesser Pastel female)

    so now I am not sure where I am at and what to do and to be honest I am kinda afraid that I am gonna fail at it and not only this season but just like I am afraid I am never gonna get it, I hope you guys understand what I mean.

    I know the "season" is just starting but I heard so many people about breeding year around

    Re: need some advise/guidance

    Locks are not always seen so don't be afraid. Also if the female isn't ready she just won't go. Try using a 3 day cycle, male in 3 days with female then out 3 days. If the males are new breeders it may take a little bit for him to get it right too. Lastly just relax. You can't rush any part of breeding and 2 weeks of no luck is nothing to fret over at all. Wait for a good storm and introduce the male then and you may see more action.
    Knowledge is earned not learned.

    Thx T&C,

    A small up-date,

    this morning I saw a lock of my Cardamon Fire male with my Lesser Pastel female. (Cardamon is a new gene 2 friends of mine have proven to be genetic, only downside is that they haven't hatched a animal that only had the Cardamon gene that is why it isn't on WoB yet)

    my Calico Super Pastel male and Mojave female where just laying there like yesterday

    and my Clown male is trying so hard with my Orange Ghost female but no lock, (they have had locks in Juli, August and early september)

    at least the Cardamon Fire and the Lesser Pastel gave me something to feel better and be happy about

    tonight I will place the males in there own tubs and feed everyone on sunday as the weather seems to be rainy with some thunder monday and tuesday so I want them fed by then and try again as I have had multiple people say to me to try it when it is bad weather/stormy
