Cheers Jamie,
Do you find that most males breed after a few attempts or are "problem breeders" a real problem?
Also do you take any steps to encourage the pair to copulate if they are not?
The female is moving her tail in a flicking motion as the male moves around, he seems more interested in getting out of the box though.
Dracowoman - You sound like quite a character
and thanks young_gun for your reply!
Regards

I've been called many things Tariq, but that's a first The other half just refers to me as 'a drain on the bank balance', along with 'what's Tom sold you this time' He's interested really, he just hides it REALLY well sometimes
Have you tried Scotts tip, keep the shed skin for the male you aren't using and put it in the box with the pair of them, the smell of another males should give him the shove he needs Or maybe he's just scared she thinks he dinner Sounds like the female is giving him the come on, he's just like some other men I know, and not good at taking the hint  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

Good Luck Tariq
I was going for the non accidental method, but worst can happen appart froma fight would be you'd get Pastels instead of Binos, but little uns all the same  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk

I kept my eyes firm on him when he went in and will do if I put him in again, because I really want the albino to breed her so I can prove her out, not to mention I don't want them both mating her and then ending up with normals which could possibly be Het Albino or completely normal if the pastel is the sire. Its more awkward in that respect with a recessive morph because if two males were dom or codom, you could use both males and hope for a mixed clutch or just see what you end up with - with recessives though, you risk mixing up Hets.
Thanks for your tips, I'l see what happens.

I'm sure the little Bino will work out what she's after eventually, and you have a couple of months yet to keep trying Fingers Crossed!  _________________ www.draco2.co.uk
