Is This Copulation????

rpruitt1 Nov 21, 2003 10:59 PM

I just put Big Daddy Red in with my noname Female. There has been a smaller male in with her for about a week. He has not been courting her. I have been wacthing for any thing. Now, when I walked in tonight to show a friend my male, I pulled on him and noticed his Hemipene in her. I stoped and left them alone. I dont know what is going on becuase I thought this was only done after Preovulation. Here are the pictures

It looks as though he is squeezing and spurring. To me copulation is when I actually see the hemipene inserted into the female. Pass that.........It is just guess work for me.

Looks like they are courting at the very least. Good luck with them.

I actually saw it in her when I tried getting him out.

In the first picture the female has the ugly tail and Big Daddy Reds tail is slitly under it. The Little Male is Squezing the Red Male. I have circled the area of there cloaca's. The second picture, the females tail is to the left. I just went down there again and it accidently disturbed them and his hemipene was deffinantly in her cloaca and it pulled out. I wish I would had my camera. Hope I didnt F-Things Up!!
