I see the same behavior with my male. Since I introduced the little guy, the 3 of them(two males and the big female) have stayed on the smaller side of the enclosure, and the smaller, less freindly female by herself. This is their sleeping arrangment. The little male stays RIGHT BY the big one, about 6 inches to a foot away, but underneath. during the day, the big guy cruises, patrolling, equally on both sides of the enclosure.



This is getting interesting. I'm seeing intraspecific behavior among some animals that are usually kept singly. It's so interesting.



Right now, I have an entire 12 foot side of the room sealed up for my animals, and the big section is about 6-7 feet long, 3 feet deep. I have a 3 foot section for the little deremensis(now only one female) and another 3 foot section for my veild.



I'm thinking about putting up a cage for the veild, o the other side. He's about 18" and evil, so I HAD to ruin the design of my enclosure by screening in his end--my deremensis get out quite often ,but no big deal. if HE got out, he'd kill the male, eat the little ones, and do lord knows what to the females...



SO, If I re-move him, I could have a 12 foot X 3 foot pretty much walless enclosure.......oh that sounds like a good idea.....



Hey, do you know if spanish moss is toxic? I need ot check...I wanted to use in in my enclosures, I can pull it off of some live oaks when I got to wilmington.
