OK here goes; I posted a picture of my Pied Male locked up with a Pastel Female earlier today. I put them together last night about 9:30. I checked on them before I went to bed at about 1:00 and they were not locked. He was crawling along her though. This morning when I got up about 7:30 they were locked up. I checked both of their tails to make sure it was a definite lock. No doubts there. About 10:30 I took the pictures of them. At about 11:30 I could see they were still locked through the enclosure. I checked again at around 12:30 and they were separated.

Most of my Males will stay locked for at least a day and a half and most of the time two to three. Do you think he was he locked long enough? Could he just be fast on the draw (Wham Bam Thank You Maam), or what? Anybody have experience with quick shooters? :machinegun:

I have not had a male lock for more than a day, normaly around 12 hours is all I see.

Maybe he dropped it a little "premature". :lol:

Albey, With my stuff i usually have 24hour locks the first time they lock up. But after that I have seen them only lock for a half hour, hour etc. Usually the first lock is the longest here anyway. Look at Mr. TOO COOL playing the Newbie game!! LOL.. You Rock Bro!:rockon:
