That's awesome. Of course then, you hope MOST of it got into the female, eh?

Lots of my females must swallow as the "stain" isn't often prevalent in my breedings.lol

I think I blushed...I know I laughed!! That's always good!

At least that had a good turnout! My female killed my male, and I don't know if they mated or not. Here she is. Derek

curious... is that something you have to be on the lookout for, the female killing the male...there's been a couple of those "horror stories" posted here this season...just wondering if it is in fact always a good probability or something that can be avoided to any certain degree...i know the loss of that male would've devistated me as i'm sure it did you... my condolences

It was the first time that's happened to me. I still have another male from the same locale, but he is smaller and not as nice looking. Next time I will watch them better. Derek

"the Stain"........wasn't that a movie classic years ago?,........oops!,....no, that was...."the Blob"!!....oh well, I guess either movie title will work in this case!
