Hi,

I've an adult female and male spotted turtle that were brought together in the last month when the temperatures started warming up. As expected, the male is avidly trying to mate with the female but she isn't obliging. It's my first breeding attempt with these 2 so I was wondering if there are any suggestions to get her to be more receptive or should I just be patient since there's not much I can do? Do females eventually settle down?

My friend suggested playing Barry White for them, but any other tips would be welcome.

Thanks.

John
