I have got only one experience of 'good job done', so I am definitely no expert, but this time it was different from any other times because firstly she did not keep running away, she waited and stood still. And secondly, she sort of lifted herself a little bit, like standing on straight legs. I guess that was allowing him/helping him to get where he needed to get because her cloaca is facing towards the ground, so I would think he would have to get a bit like under her, maybe? (I couldn't watch their private parts because he was there obstructing my view and I couldn't see anything, so this is a guesswork. All I know is that she stood more up than usual).

I would say yours is probably doing it Sue. I have only ever seen my males bits this once (as she tried to stretch it off!) Actually (sorry to be crude/cruder!) isn't this why they have the "sucker/mushroom bit" on the end? To stop it falling out?

Exactly right Lynn
If the female sits still/stands up she is receptive Danny

Sorry to keep going ! It's just that I have had eggs from thr female he chases the most but they have all been infertile (so far) do you think this is just bad luck? or that he could be firing blanks (so to speak) . Maybe I need to be more patient.
Thanks |
