coiledbattalions Jan 02, 2008 11:26 PM

hey guys...just wondering if when the female first sheds comeing out of winter matters with breeding and ovulation because i have heated my pair back up and introduced them twice and they did at least start to lock up...i didnt pull the tails apart to see for sure but they are at least starting the motions...the female however has not shed yet and a friend said he thinks u should wait till she sheds to introduce males because thats when she is ovulating...should i introduce them now anyway for a week and then seperate for a few days and repeat or wait like he said so i dont tire my male out...thanx for any help

Shedding has nothing to do with ovulation. Put them together.
