Sounds like she's not ready to breed, and a little over a year (assuming under 14 months) is a bit young to breed (females ideally should be at least 14 months but better if they are 18 months or more before breeding, and in perfect health, weighing at least 350g if a small female, but much more is best with lengths (head to tail tip) over 18" )



As from your description there hasn't even been any mating attempts by your male, its pretty obvious she's not ready. Separate her from the male and try again when she's older. You could try cycling her into brumation (shortening the length of day light by about half hour a week till you have 8 hours day light and lower the temperature (ambient) by about 5 degrees per week till ambient is about 85F-90F during the day. Leave basking temps as normal during the day) This should cause her to begin brumation, After 2-4 months, reverse the process with temps and daylight lengths...once she is up, feed and provide water (either spraying greens heavily so they are damp, offer water from a dish if she normally drinks form a dish, or use an eye dropper, or a bath)



Give her about a week of regular feeding then introduce the male (who should also be brumated too, in the same way as the female)
