From what i've seen when I see this it is just the female letting the male know to come get some.....

Thanks for the replys everyone.. It would make since she is the garbage disposal of my collection and she recently has gone off feed which she has never refused a meal since I got her 2yrs ago at 60grams.. So aggressive feeder and aggressive breeder... Maybe my season won't be a total flop I had multiple males lock up with 5 other females and no luck but this girl just hit 1400grams so I figured I'd throw a male in with her and see what happens...
Thanks all!

Im not trying to give jbug a hard time (im still breeding a few girls) im guessing if I get them to go that they will not go next year at all? They are both 3 yo around 1550 grams.

Why not wait a few more months until breeding season? There are people who breed year round but at 1400 grams...just cause she hasn't eaten a time or two...I'd still offer her food cause 1400 is still a little small to breed...you'd have more eggs from her if you waited and got her up in size a little more too.
