I have a pair of Suri/Guyana RTB's together for breeding and my "female" i had with my sunglow boa last year but they didnt take and the sunglow was all over "her" courting and everything well this year I put her with my "Male" BCC and it's as if the female is courting the male, she's on top of him and doing tail wrapping, does this mean that they are both sexed wrong or has females been dominant like this before? any feedback would be great
thanks

As for the sunglow male...some males will attempt to breed anything including other males.

I would say that your "female" BCC sounds as if it is a male, I have had females posture as a male but never tail wrap, so time for a re-sex on both BCC to make sure that your "female" BCC is not trying to breed another male.

These are only my thoughts and not aimed to offend anyone: If you commit a female BCC to a morph project whether you produce babies or not....please leave that girl as a morph project or at the very least disclose to people that she was crossed.

Retained sperm is my concern and we have seen some crosses that can look very much like a BCC....I defend the right to cross BCI to BCC ....just do it right

Don't tread on me!

Thanks Joel for your responce, I'll re-sex both of them, if they both end up bein males, atleasat I know one is sexually active and will just have to get a nice female. As far as retaining spirm, thanks for pointing that out, I knew they could do it but just never clicked on the potential of that happening while breeding a year later and the fact that the sunglow has a co-dom trate, I would of thought well atleast I'd get a DH sunglow 50/50 to show that it's from the sunglow but I've also herd that it's happened that 2 males sire the same litter before so that throws that whole thought off.

Thanks again
Zack
