try putting another male in with them. Making the ratio 2.1. Sometimes putting another male in can spark the dominance to kick in and get him to breed. However, it could backfire and the wrong male could end up fathering the litter. In my opinion, I would use a much smaller male, I've heard sometimes it even works with a male thats not even sexually mature. I would try a smaller male so the bigger/more dominant male will take the hint.

Or..... another route would be to take the shed skin of another male and place it in the tank with them. Just having the scent can sometimes do the trick.

I can't attest to either of these working, I've never had to come down to it, but it seems like it makes sense. It was just a few ideas I've picked up in conversations with other breeders.

Best of luck to ya. Hope it works.
