I only check twice a day once they’re locked since they do seem to take awhile. I think on average mine go 24 hours locked. Don’t have a ton of experience to go by or anything, we only just made our first 3 clutches last breeding season. We got 26 babies from them and have 10 left over here, a few of which we’re holding back.

I appreciate all your advice, makes a lot of sense. I’ll just check on him maybe every 12 hrs if you think that’s okay, and I’ll start leaving in for 3 days as well, not 2. If I don’t see sperm plugs, is it pointless to keep trying him this season?
