an out of place antaresia question...

masonna Nov 11, 2012 11:39 AM

so... i realize this isn't exactly the correct place for this question, but i didn't see anything relating to antaresia, so i figured i'd ask here if there's a more appropriate forum on this site. i have unusual behaviors happening with two of my animals and i honestly can't tell if it's breeding or combat. i know it sounds dumb, but i've never worked with this genus before.

thanks.

What sort of behavior? I've worked with all 4 species and I haven't noticed that they do anything terribly odd.

Well. I bought an animal that I was assured was a female, so I assumed I was pairing my animals. What I saw turned out to be good, old fashioned male combat, but at the time I first wrote, I thought my "female" was being violently unresponsive to breeding attempts.
