If you can't seperate (only have one stat) not a whole lot you can do.

Bottom line IMO, if the receptive female is "distracting" the other male, so be it. If his girlfriend is not putting out pheromones, she is not ready and while an attentive male can help get a female receptive, until she's ready and willing to go, aint nothing gonna happen anyways.


BTW, you do realise you have everything riding on a single point of failure? If that one stat does fail, not likely but can and does happen, then you have no backup!! Another stat is only a hundred bucks..?? Several of my cages have two stats per cage, belly and basking stats. I have backups for all my stats and heating sources. Either a spare unit or another cage secion.
