They're maybe too young then, Louise. You may find his effofts intensify after she sloughs.

Hey Lulu,
If there only a few months old then they would be too young. She would need to be about a year and a half or more, and the male about a year or better for it to be successful. Give them time. It's acually entertaining watching my male chase the female when he's done brumating. He rubs his head over her body and there's no place for the poor girl to hide that he won't follow.
When she lets him, their tails will be together, opening to opening and that's when it all happens.
