Hmmmm!

I am guessing you only have two adults?

It is possible that they are not into each other or one of the two is too young.

More info would help me better answer your question.

I am assuming you are 100% positive you have a male and female?
I have 1.2 chondros and my male absolutely refused to lock up with one of my fems un til this year after 4 yrs of unsuccesful attempts. Are you seperating them for a week or so before introducing them. See if you could get a male shed from a fellow herper and throw it in there. somtimes that makes all the difference in the world

My only advice is to be patient, breeding chondros isn't impossible it just take time to learn the animals.

I personally would, keep them with DTT's of 87 (stat setting) and offer NTT's 75 (stat setting), and introduce and separate them every so often.

This will allow you a to use the male as your indicator.
You'll know when the female is receptive, because he'll be on her like white on rice.

Hope that helps!
