They were like 'what happened to knocking?' Let us if your female lays any eggs!!
She could start to act anxious (running around, looking for nest sites) or she could get fed up with your male, and bully him off when he tries to mate. Do you have any other females to attract his attention too? SHe might get stressed with all his extra fussing
How long have they been mating? If it;s only been a few days, no. She could become aggressive is she is gravid, but if she just turns away, my guess is no. Males will try to repeatedly mate with a female, even if she is looking for a nesting site. That sounds normal now, but watch out for distress sings. Lethargy, lack of appetite, aggressive behavior. Do you have a good place for her to nest if she does lay eggs? Plain dirt spot/shady/prtoected...
That sounds great! Yes. They won't 'seek out' males for mates, those guys do a great job on their own If it continues on like this (female being active, normal) then all is well and you may very well have some eggs in a few weeks. The leg biting is okay, he just wants her attention Make sure she has good calcium intake for shell production, if those guy do succeed in their 'endeavors'!
If she regularly eats a cuttle bone on her own, just once a week. If not, a few times. Got to be tricky about it though, if they smell it, they go all picky Just a light sprinkle... mix it up.. she'll never have seen it coming
They like sheltered warm spots for nesting.
But no, you cannot assume that there is no distress just because you don't see biting or blood. If he continues to mount her day after day, it is stressful.
I've also read that the females never actually seem interested in breeding, and it just happens? So as long as there is not actual aggression (expecting the leg biting (nothing extreme or I will separate)) they should be fine?
