Not sure if its just the pics or what but those two look like they are very dry and need to shed. I would give them a soak in warm water and raise the humidity in there cage to about 70%. What happened to the females tail? Poor thing. The female looks a little small for breeding. What her weight?

Reccomended breeding weight is 1500 grams But 13 ish can do as well. That seems awfully light for a 4+ yo BP. Well I’m glad that it is good care now!

As far as keeping them together I would say yes if they have locked once they will again. And your temps should be 85 ish hot spot 75 ish cool side. You start warming back up to 90+ in mid Febuary. I would not worry about an incubator until she ovulates. Read through this Link And if you have any more ?’s Just ask.

Normally you would cool down for the month of oct. Then introduce them in November.....Read through the link posted above....there is a timeline at the bottom of the page.....
