Big moment today.
Today my little 11 year old male showed sexual interest in my big female for the first time. He approached her and started doing the head-bobbing thing for the very first time. Unfortunately, she was not impressed.

My question is, can he successfully mate with her even though he is so much smaller than she?

Well, that last picture is so sad..Reminds me of something from a movie......"and maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe... it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over. freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is... just... moving on."

I think Laura is asking because isn't it illegal here in California to produce hatchlings? I'm not sure that's what I thought I remembered from another poster. :D I'm not going to comment on the size thing. :p :D

It's illegal to incubate eggs. I am sure not going to stand in the way of nature taking it's course.

If she's willing, and he's sexually mature, it can happen.

That's neat!

I agree such a sad looking picture, but I think he is just sitting back and coming up with a plan of action. :D

I bet he's not going to give up that easy! He just needs to do some courting. :)

Yeah man. Women, can't live with 'em can't live without 'em.

Little guy needs some better pickup lines.

Tell him to say how exceptionally nice her hair looks today, no wait the eyes. Compliment the eyes.

Tell him not to act so stiff. Be a bad boy. Get a motorcycle. Girls like bad boys.
