Odds are good, but mating attempts do not always mean successful mating.

Not necessarily. How long is the female?

What it does mean is that you need to separate them, unless you intend to add another female or two and start producing 100's of sulcata babies every year. If you leave a lone female in with a male, even in a huge enclosure, he will hunt her down and give her no peace. The chronic stress from that could lead to a suppressed immune system, lack of appetite, dehydration and eventually death.

If you want babies, then congrats, hope you get some. If you don't want babies, hope they are just practicing :p:D

WELL I DO NOT WANT BABIES……I don't have the knowledge to care for them, nor do I have the time if they were to get here to ensure they all go to good homes, soooooo next week's projects is to separate them while no one is home to watch them. THANK YOU ALL FOR VERY IMPORTANT BIT OF INFORMATION!!!!!!!
