Over aggressive female???

beardielover13 Mar 13, 2004 04:07 PM

My normally calm female was really aggressive when I took her out with my male today. She is nearing 3 years old and is normally really calm. She went toward the male when he was head bobbing and started head bobbing really aggressively. She started whipping her tail at him and tried to bite his tail. What could be wrong with her? Thanks for any info.

Were you trying to breed her? This means she does NOT want to be bred. There is a possibility that it could be a male also (unless of course she has had clutches of eggs before). When she does this she is pretty much NOT wanting to be bothered by the male. If you are not planning on breeding them do NOT get them out together, it stresses the female out a LOT!

I was not trying to breed her. I am 100% it is a she because she has layed eggs before. Normally, they like to sit on the floor and bask in the sunlight coming through the window.
