Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any advice on getting a female Sav to submit to her mate. I have a definite (vet sexed) pair of savs that are of breeding age.
My male is very much the gentleman and makes on a regular basis, but my female even though she is the rite weight and age, will have nothing to do with him.
She submits to a point after his third or fourth attempt she will lay there and let him get on top but as soon as he tries to coax her tail up she hisses and freaks out.
She does however, not mind being around him and has no general aggressions.
This is the third day I have tried letting them stay together and I was wondering if there is anymore I can do. She has been cycled and is pretty fat but not obese and he is just a horney little guy. The cage has good nesting medium and decent humidity to make them feel like its the African wet season and safe to lay eggs, so could she just be a dud or is it possible that she thinks there is something wrong with him to be a mate???
Any info would be cool?
One other thing,
I have an ornate Nile -Male and a female Sumatran Water. They actually get along quite well and my Nile is very interested in her but should I allow them to be together? Can these two be hybridized at all? I know that they are actually very different but has it ever been done before? I know that croc monitors and waters have been bread once successfully, but Niles?
