    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....

So I have a dinker female that has lock with three males. Is there anything I can do to encourage ovulation or do I just wait and see? I have her all set up in a tank that has 100 degrees one side, 80 degrees on the other with hide log, and big water bowl. Today she's curled up on the cold side of the tank, I'm hoping that's a good sign. She's also off feed.

All you can do is wait but it may be a good sign that she's off feed and on the cool side, time will tell.
 
Yea, 100 is a bit high. I'd take that down to about 92. Other than that, cool side seeking is generally follicle building behavior. Really though there is nothing you can do but wait - some females will ovulate after 1 lock while others can take 15. It isn't the locks that count, it is how developed her follicles are. They have to be 35-45mm before she will ovulate.
