Emma or Emmet?

honuman Aug 13, 2003 01:27 PM

Well gang I am completely confused and maybe someone can shed a
little light on this.

I finally decided have my Yellowfoot Emma and My small male redfoot Bubba go together in my outside pen. I placed them together and Emma just High tailed it right over to Bubba and started actively persuing him. SHE wasn't really trying to bite or be aggressive but she kept attempting to mount poor lil Bubba.

She has pretty bad shell deformities (not as bad as Nina) and her plastron is flat as a board. She also has a SCL of around 8-9 inches or so.

Is it possible Emma is an Emmet and his/her plastron is flat because of the MBD or do females behave like this in attempt to dominate the territory?

Help!! Either way poor Bubba is rather perturbed about the whole
situation.
