Its getting heated between the two. Male is real putting the moves on and my poor female is looking like she just went 2 rounds with Buster Douglas. No bites to deep but alot of scrathes. Hope its mating and not him trying to kill her :eek:

be careful. it could be deadly for the male or female if it goes too far

how old are the females? the male matures first, and could also be trying to mate the female too early

My female is a year and 7 months and the male is 2 months younger. Ill seperate them if i have to. Ive seen the female poke the male very gently with her stringer twice. Like a back off poke, The tip of her stringer is exposed or its exposed because its ready to fall off. One of the two:). Ill keep a eye on them. Salted last night to help in the healing and hopefully calm the male.
