so im taking the male out a week and a half early to feed him up then im introducing the female to him, if everythings good than the male will be following the female everywhere, that means there going to mate right? (if it doesnt what signs show that they are or are intrested in mating? and if the male is not interested separate them untill the female sheds right? and if they are still not intrested im supposed to simulate a cold snap?

Thanks,
Reed
