Furcifer willsii Courting Behavior

Took a few iPhone videos of our Furcifer willsii male trying his best at convincing the female to accept his advances. Needless to say, we separated them shortly after I took the video.

They look fantastic Luis. Is this the first attempt to breed them or have they bred before?

This is the first time we introduced them since they arrived in February. One thing I did think of is that it's becoming winter over in Mada and their "biological clock" may still be in that mode, which would make females not very receptive at the moment. It happens a lot with WC animals from a different hemisphere so it's something I'm accustomed to. They probably just need time to get in on the season cycle we have here.

Thanks!
