    Re: odd on not taking?

    Have you seen any signs of development?? Rolling, wrapping the water bowl, etc?? Has either girl stopped feeding?? Were they cooled at all?? A male locking up with a female does not necessarily mean impending ovulation. Generally it is a combination of factors that stimulates the female to develop follicles (build). If you think you may have missed the ovulation, then just keep an eye on shed cycles. If worse comes to worse, keep an eye out for a shed after which the female starts shifting around and lying in odd positions looking very uncomfortable.

    Don't sweat it, it can be hard to recognize signs the first few times you breed. You just have to put in more time watching so you don't miss a lay. You can always do what I did the first season and after every shed, mark the calendar 28 days post shed and keep an eye out for eggs. Welcome to the joys and frustrations of breeding.....


    Cheers,
    Kat
