advanc,
I would wait till the female's second shed, and I would leave the shed in with her and then introduce the male in with the female and her shed. That seems to work for me and I have heard others use that method too.

Okay, I was just anxious, after three nights of attempts, with an uncooperative female, she is now receptive. The pair is copulating as I type, have been at it for an hour. This was her first shed after brumation. Brumation was 3 months at 58 degrees F. I was just in a hurry. Its exciting.
