    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Ok here it is, both columbian redtails. My female is in the high 6' range almost 7' not fat but has very good girth and is a 6yr old virgin. my male is a lil over 5' and isnt thin but tone. I have idea temps and humidity (91hot-82cold- 85ambient-55%hum) in a non traffic room not really disturbed just when I check on them.

Ok now to the problem, either my male plays for the other team or my ladie wants to wait for marrage because they are not doing anything but laying togeather on the hot side then the cold ect... She resently went into a shed and I took him out for about 8 days then the night she shedded I placed him back in and no action.

Please anyone give me some help or ideas I have come to the point to were I will try anything
 
Lower your ambient temps to the low 80s (around 80-82) mist them regularly (when I sprayed down my breeding pair this year they started going at it fairly quickly afterwords) also lower the day/night cycle so light matches that of the natural cycle..

Good luck..

I have noticed the most action out of our pairs when the cool side is about 77 degrees. They still have a hot spot to go to when they want, so I am not at all worried about it being to cold. We live in Florida and it warmed up here the last week and as soon as it got around 82 on the cool side the action stopped. Sooo,
I turned on the AC and they went right back at it. Hope this helps. Good luck!!
