Came home early from a biz trip and all the adults were jammed into their water bowl..and i do mean jammed! I pulled the bowl and w/in 3 hrs. one male is actively spurring my ginormous female. The smaller female is entwined w/her so they both may be getting some action. Last Sunday I dropped the NTL to 61F from 68F and actually bumped the DTH up a few ticks as well.

Oddly the addition of the second male elicited no reaction from either male sparring-wise but may have triggered all of this. My largest pair have been housed together for a year w/never a breeding reaction though I got the male too late last year to do any serious cycling...but unlike others I've read about they had no bouts of frivolous copulation or courting until now. They're about 6 weeks into this cycling regimen.
