has this happened to anyone else?

[beeek0]

My female panther chameleon is showing a lot of receptive colors and when I present her to my male, she seems fine and just waits for him.. but he doesn't seem to want her and runs away when she gets close.. sometimes she will even follow him around the cage haha.. When I first presented her to him, he went for her right away but she wasn't quite ready.. but now that she is, he gets scared... I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen before?

thanks

Hmmm.... sounds like the plot of almost every romantic comedy on the planet.

haha true... how long does copulation usually last for?

10-40 minutes.

thanks! what are the chances of her getting pregnant on the first mating attempt? I want to pair them up again, but how long should I wait?
