Thank you both for the great insight! I guess it's shame on me for not quarantining the famale. I should know this as I quarantine every new bird I get for at least a few weeks. I guess I assumed that reptiles were like indestructable little tanks and don't get diseases. I did not plan on them "getting it on" until at least next spring, where I would have ample time to condition her for the rigors of breeding.
Does the need to separate male and female (to prevent her from being bred to death) depend on the demeanor of the female? My female, though smaller, seeems to be able to boss him around at will. She will go into the humid hide and chase him out. I know they're male and female, as I've seen them copulating two more times since putting up this post. Thanks again. Bob
