I'm pretty sure on Will Well's site it tells you that the females will often do that to prevent the male from getting in there himself.

Having never bred myself I wouldnt like to say for sure but I have seen one of my females a few times do it to her partner when he tries it on with her, have you tried Will's site? Cant post addresses on here but will PM it for you.

One of the more experienced keepers here will prob tell you better if you hang tight, lol

Your right, the lil girl is resisting his advances

And Kelly just so ya know, if a person asks you a question and "you" can provide a site that has the information needed you CAN give the site address or link.
BUT.... you just can't get on here and say Hi heres my site, or heres Joe Bananas site just for the sake of inviting people. It must be pertaining to what the person asked and needs to know.

Just wanted to let ya know you could have given her his site.

I thought sites were restricted to signatures the same as the other forums I use, its been a long time since I read the rules, and they're SOOOO complicated I actually probably only skimmed them anyway

Interesting.

It is normal for the female to do this or put one foot on his head as a way of saying I'm not ready or leave me alone.
