Is there a good reason not to introduce my female to my male if the male is in shed??
Are they disinterested in breeding while shedding?

Thanks,

I have put males in with females that are just about to shed .... I guess because I think the will have a stroger scent at that time vs being in the tub crawling around on their bedding...

I find that most males are uninterested in copulating while in a shed cycle, so I now wait until after they finish. My females will often copulate while in shed, however.
