i got a male hypo and a pretty female normal that have been locked up for about two days. today i noticed that they were not locked up anymore but still together. i guess my question is could she become gravid after such a short time? I do plan on leaving them together for a while longer. any advise would be great thanks in advance.

Breeding off and on is common. Don't sweat it and keep them together. Good luck.

Yeah, from what I've read, taking the male out too early usually results in slugs, because the male courting the female will help her to ovulate, and that can take weeks or even months of courting to do.
