you can palpate the female to see if she has follicles. let her relax, and crawl over your hands on the floor as you gently apply pressure under her belly, clamp your hands in a fixed position around her body, with you fingers over her underside and let her squeeze through you hands as she moves (let her do the work). If you dont feel follicles, theres no way she can ovulate anytime soon. These guys have huge follicles just prior to ovulation. If shes inverting shes probably responding to some change in environmental conditions, but not necessarily breeding season entry. Nevertheless, put the male in with her just after youve misted the cage alot with cold cold water, then let the cage warm up and become humid. Under those conditions,you will have the most sucess. Also, keep the male in with her for long periods of time, and dont bug them. let them do their thing.......as long as they dont fight within the first few hours (if you remove the hide boxes), you should be fine if no food or shedding is involved while theyre together.
