The other boy seemed to ignore her. Until yesterday. He started making a beeline seemingly to go right past her. Then he turned and ran right towards her. Cissy does not have much use of her limbs, so I always keep her close. I was able to pick her up before Fred got to her. I believe he probably would have been gentler with her then Buster, who is a little ruffian. I didn't want to find out, though.
I'm very glad that Jade is doing so well. She is so fortunate that you took her home.

Beardie sex takes a few seconds, literally, and no matter how fast you are, he can jump on her & do the deed before you're even able to move her. So I'd let them continue visiting through their tanks. Even though Jade has done so very well, you'd hate her to carry fertile eggs. Golly is probably a bit down because he's not allowed to mate like he'd like to :mrgreen: But the decision is yours, not ours, that's just my opinion.

I know, that even though, when I had females, they were in a separate room and the males would go nuts every spring trying to get out of their tank to mate with them. Now that my girls are passed away, I only have males, so not as much going nuts during spring. They still go nuts when they can see each other, but that's because they want to fight :lol:
Esther19":14c056yy said:Perhaps if you put them in different rooms in the new place, Golly would get a little relief and perk up?
Esther19":1xyo5083 said:Yes, it would be hard to put one in a room that you were seldom in. I'm sure you'll figure something out. That might not be what is bugging Golly, after all. Don't you just wish they could talk?
sweetiepie9":1htu95ke said:A few of my boys have been in a slump lately, too, and I don't have any females in the house. It's really maddening when we want to get them to perk up but we don't know how. Poor Golly!
And I agree, they would be miserable if they couldn't see you guys all the time, they're very social with humans, just not so social with each other :mrgreen:
