receptive female question

[millionsofchameleons]

so i have a female panther that is receptive and ive been trying to mate her with a certain male but he doesnt complete the transaction so to speak so i was wondering how long she will stay receptive so i can put in my sure thing male before she has an infertile clutch.

The same thing just happened to me. My male just fumbled around and couldn't figure out where to put it. I tried for two weeks without personally witnessing any copulation then on the second week...Boom! Gravid. I still don't think they copulated...Seeing as receptive as she was, I believe all the attempts just triggered her to cycle a clutch...But who knows, Maybe I got lucky....Or rather the Chams got lucky.

Try leaving them in the cage together for a day or two until you see her rejecting the male, or they act very uncomfortable around each other. It is said that some will just sneak one off while your not looking...stage fright I guess.

yea, i dont know what his deal is, he head bobs, climbs on her, but thats about it. she will end up walking away from him or he will actually just walk over her as though he forgot what he is supposed to do once hes ontop. i think im going to have to put in my pro so i dont miss out on a clutch, thanks
