Input on stubborn male panther with breeding

[ParabuthusKing]

I am hoping someone might be able to assist with providing information on how to get my male panther to breed. He is about 3.75 years old and I have a virgin female who is extremely receptive right now and has been for over one week. I have placed her in with potential sire and he was gung ho for her for quite some time. She is extremely cooperative with no darkening of colors or mouth gaping. The male doesn't seem to understand how to finish business and often I can see him trying to mate her facing reversed from her orientation!! I have another male and he mated with a different female approximately one month ago with good results so far (30 fertile appearing eggs currently incubating!!! My first clutch btw). I decided to put her in with proven male and he went straight for her and looked about ready to copulate. Stupidly I removed her thinking I wanted the other male to get a chance. Now the proven breeder seems disinterested and the other silly male does a bunch of head bobbing, but no actual mating to my knowledge. What should I do at this point?? Please help as time is critical for her to be receptive and at the very least I would like to have a fertile clutch if possible thanks!

Let the males see each to get jealous. let them awaken together for immediate action when lights turn on. try introducing the other away around if permittable. give him time, when one of my males got his first action: he humped her back, ear, neck, the air before he figured it out. remember their is no sex ed class in high school for them. it has to be learned thru instinct. if all else fails, there is always cham porn (that's a joke).

When I've had problems like that with my panthers, I've used 2 approaches. The first is to show the male to another male or himself in a mirror for a couple minutes before introducing the female. Gets his engines revved. The other thing is to show the female to the male every day or two or three for just a few (3-5) minutes. Make sure the chameleons are completely visually isolated from each other and other panthers at all times except when being introduced. Over time (week or two or three) this seems to have the desired effect on the male.

You can also try placing them on a "tree"
outside. Natural sun and/or an unconfined space might do the trick. Good luck. Also, try putting him in her enclosure.

This is a great thread. I will try the aforementioned techniques and see if they work with my un-inspired male.
