Oregon, it's part of 'Murica!
Growing incredibly impatient, I figure I will try out 2 of my other males.

First is Tweak. He has been shaking his head like crazy and digging a hole to get to Butters on the other side, so I switched him out and he went nuts. Him and Butters are still lip wrestling a half hour later.

If he doesn't work out which he probably won't because I think he might still be too young despite all his enthusiasm I will try out my large ZZ. With that I am not sure what would happen with the whole size difference but I have seen huge males that literally dwarf their mate but who knows.

Your male is too small even if you can get the female to lay eggs she's not going to let a weak little male like that fertilize them.

Thats what I figured since shes now shooing him away from her cave. Hes still trying to get in. I wouldn't say hes weak, hes small but aggressive as ****.

How would I go about introducing a larger male, hes like 10".
 
They are cute little buggers, love the names.

How big is the female? Always start with the pair securely divided. If they both show interest then remove the divider but keep an eye on them so no one gets killed. I usually wait until the female exhibits breeding colors/behavior and her tube starts to drop.
