lock ups

[KashGarter27]

How many lock ups does it take for a female to be pregnant. My male locked up with the female twice this month and they had a lock up in the month of January

I think when he stops showing interest you are set. When the female becomes gravid he should lose interest in trying. I'd just let them do their thing.

[KashGarter27]

But it seems like its taking forever

did you see a visual lockup as in penetration? Ive had males ride females for months and never actually penetrate for an actual lockup and ive also seen males ride a gravid female.
Ive witnessed these things due to a cummunial same species enclosure in which ive learned alot about how they act as how they are very active at night verse daytime.

[KashGarter27]

Yes they had a visual lock up on july 3rd and the 9th

If she's still putting out the right pheromones he'll react and want to mate. Once she stops he'll give it a rest.

I had a male and a female do the courting behavior for two months and she never got pregnant, I know the struggle and now i'm wondering if he's defective lol.

Try swapping the batteries. If that doesn't work just replace em lol.

[KashGarter27]

Doesn't really matter if there is confirmed lock ups or not. If the female isn't ready to become gravid she won't. It's a 50/50 reciprocating input as to whether she goes to term. And several other factors play into reproduction actually occurring.
