on a more serious note i prefer to add females into males enclosures....granted i dont breed all these wierd colour morphs but i do breed normal royals.

leaveing the female in over night with a mixture of different male sloughs is also a good one

Before we all get going here.
1) How long has your male been breeding. Sometimes, after a while they get bored and thats it.
2) Is your friends "female" definitely a female? Probe it.
3) Did you seriously introduce a non-colection individual into your breeding group without quarantine.

Number 3 - If the animal seems perfectly healthy living with a friend, who you trust, what's the problem? The trust bit is important, but if it's there, how is 6 months in his house any different from 6 months in your quarenteen room?

But yeah, are you SURE it's female??
