I (finally!) managed to get a male for my female. He's a long term captive and in good condition so I put him in with the female right away. Now I'm wondering how long should I leave him in there? Is there any way to tell they've mated aside from catching them in the act? thanks.

I'll post some pics of them as soon as I have some spare time and am not at work.

Well, to start, I usually quarantine my new animals for at least 30 days before putting them in with an established animal. This allows the new animal to become acclimated and de-stressed prior to introduction as well as making sure there's no parasites, disease, etc that is going to end up being spread. Personally, I would take him back out and put him by himself for a while.

Yes take him out just in case there is something wrong with him.You do not want to risk losing her.
