I have the books, but they don't give as much information as I want or need. So, we put male and female together and they seem okay in the terrarium. Last night she releases a small amount of white stuff (I could see it on her - he has done that before, but never her-and yes, they are male and female - lol - I got that one right from an expert) and then starts running around the terrarium. He starts following her and she does this little squeak/twitch/tail up higher routine every time he comes near her. She actually bites him - but didn't let him near her. It was interesting to watch her quiver her whole body and make the noise every time he came in contact.
What I am looking for is some guidance in their mating rituals. What is typical? Or is she rejecting him this way.
It took me awhile to decide to post (feeling sheepish)and I wish the books would tell me more about their mating behaviours.
A big thanks to anyone who will answer and provide some details.

she was just releasing urates (pee) and all that is normal mating behavior. every woman has the right to say no now and then
