I have no experience with northerns but I suspect they need very little cooling as they originate from the tropical areas of Oz.

Maybe you've introduced them too early. I would wait until the 2nd week of spring.

I suspect you do have a female.

The known male is interested, (strutting with a jerky motion) and has been testing the female to see if she is ready for mating. This can go on for a few weeks. often the male will approach from the side and nose upto the vent area.

When the male thinks the time is right he will not hesitate in delivering a mating bite and hanging on. Though you may notice he will stop and stare at the object of his affection before doing so.

lovely way of putting it Geoff - "he may stop and stare at his object of affection" - whereas the reality of it is not exactly that "nice" :)

hmm, interesting that sounds what they are doing. It seems the male is not interested. The female seems ready, but then she seems like she get angry if he does not do anything for awhile and she goes after him.
