Tips on Getting a unresponsive male panther to start breeding?
Female is ready, and receptive, male shows 0 interest. i have even tried adding a 2nd male to the cage and nothing. (i did this safely so they could not get close enought to eah other to hurt themselves. )

I am in the Same position at the minute too! My lovely male doesn't want to mate even though my female is practically throwing herself at him! If I find any techniques that work I will let you know .
Good luck

You need what is called a fluffer.

I think that may have been a little sarcasum there from Chuck lol

Fluffer:
Pornographic film industry employee who is responsible for keeping male performers aroused (usually via oral sex) between takes during a shoot.

You could extend the concept and show the male other females or pictures of other females to see if it gets him going.

I have heard you put another male in the presence of the male breeder and he gets territorial, then to town.

I was told with one of my males that he might not have been interested (despite being shown other males) because the female wasn't quite ready and he knew it, but I couldn't tell (even though she was showing all the receptive signs I thought possible.) He ended up mating with her 2 weeks later, so I'm thinking that was it. Perhaps she just isn't quite as ready as you think she is?

I also had a male that didn't care about other panther males and was only spurred on by the sight of a male Jackson's chameleon. Maybe you can try other species if you have any?

Ok Google, I need pictures of chameleon porn...

Mine have now mated so just don't give up and keep trying them together

Lol @ the fluffer. You could also try taking them outside if the weather permits. I don't remember seeing where you are. Maybe even some free range? Sometimes the change of scenery will get things spicy and rolling. Haha.. worth a try at least. OH and of course some Barry White playing in the background.

If she is receptive and he is not too aggressive it is possible to leave her in with the male for a few days. I have a female that was orange as a tangerine and first time receptive that would always get close to letting the males mate, but would then writhe out of position. After a few tries and time of receptivity winding down, I left her in the males enclosure for a couple days with close observation. That said, there were plenty of areas for her to hide and bask as well. I never witnessed copulation, but she was a 100% virgin female before introduction to my males and now I have two clutches of eggs from her incubating. I am not certain they are fertile, but both clutches have good appearance with one being 2 months incubation so far no moldy eggs or signs of infertile. Just my 2 cents if you are really having trouble with successful breeding ) if her eggs hatch, I guess it worked!
