My normal female and lesser male have been cooling and locking for a few months now. they've locked at least 5 or 6 times probably more, i don't remember exactly. So far i haven't seen any super obvious signs of ovulation or her being gravid, I've tried to feel for follicles but i either haven't felt them or don't know what I'm doing (probably the latter). One thing i have noticed is that she has refused two meals now and she is a very serious eater. What should i do to ensure that she becomes gravid if she isn't already?? pics of her are from today, she hasn't eaten in two weeks.
As far as missing 2 meals it can happen and it is not a reliable indicator. Did you observe building, glow? As your female been cooling, where is she currently located in the enclosure?
All you can do is keep pairing once per she cycle trying to use the weather at your advantage, she will either take or she won't, as for being gravid not knowing what you have observed so far and not having examined the animal in person it hard to tell, I have seen females lock 5, 6 times and not take, I have seen females lock 1 or 2 times and become gravid.
