Male rejecting female?

[marcsman16]

Hello everyone.
Yesterday I put my female into my male's enclosure. At the first minute everything seems to be just fine, the male starts bobbing his head and female shows receptive colors, but after that the male won't do anything else.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

How much time are you giving them?

That was a joke to just point put that there isn't always a connection. Chameleons sometimes have preferences! Try him with a different female, you might have a completely different outcome! Then you blink and you have 100 chameleons! Lol

Chams are a natural creature, not all males will mate with all females, I think that goes with any animal species.....except some humans lol...

Ok thanks a lot.
I feel bad for her cause she wanted him so much!

Do you have any other males? Sometimes the presence of another male (not in the same enclosure obviously) can get them to do the deed

Mirror might do the trick if you don’t have another male

Is he watching you watching him? He might be bashful.

Maybe he has stage fright. He doesn't want you to watch.

I think they were serious! Lol

Still sooo funny. I like all the "guy" chatter about this. Maybe she just wasn't into him and gave him the you better back off. Maybe she prefers the red head. LOL
