I was wondering what i can do to get my male more interested in the ladies? He does plenty of head bobing and black beard, i have only witnessed one copulation, which was the only female to lay eggs. He is in with 3 girls in a 7'x 3.5' cage. I seperated him then reintroduced him, he did the dame headbobs but no copulation!?

You may have more luck in the spring, when love is in the air and after brumation.
There's nothing you can do to "make" it happen.

I'm no expert but maybe the other femals aren't receptivebecause the one he copulated with is the "dominate" feamle inthat enclosure. Maybe try seperating the feamles and even possibly introducing another male in an enclosure facing the cage with the seperated feamle and the male intended to "do the buisness" so he can see him? It seemed strange to say awhile back but now I can see how each dragon has it's own personality and it may take something else or maybe this would work for you? The other feamles just may not be ready to breed with him yet. My Snow male courted my hypo feamle for a couple months before actual copulation. However, I put my redflame/sandfire female in with my yellow pair to clean her enclosure and got eggs from her on accident. Te yellow female still hadn't became gravid when I had to sell them about 6 weeks ago. Just depends on the dragon an the willingness to "coopulate" ........LOL
Good Luck
