Noted exteme aggressive mating behavior of a medium-sized male to a very large Norhtern Redbellied Slider female. He pounded her carapace relentlessly with his plastron, causing scute damage. The problenm was solved when a wel-meaning but very ditzy vacation caregiver packed up the REdbelly and severla diamonbacks ( originally fish market rescues) and shipped them to Maryland to be releseased without consulting me.

Sorry, I was thinking about another post and I was refering to Heosemys grandis. Spinosa is usually pretty well-behaved, but I have had only limited experience with larger adults.
