lesbian cresteds?

valentempires Oct 07, 2004 12:54 PM

i have three juvinle crested geckos. 1 male housed seperately from the two females. the two females are 7 and 8 months old. are in a coustom enclousure 2 ft tall 2 ft wide and 18 inches deep. feed crickets 2 or 3 times a wekk and babyfood diet mix the other days. my question is over the past two days i have seen the two females fighting with each other. bitting chasing and so on. and the past two nites it appears they have been attempting to mate. i was curious if this is normal? the male is still much smaller and already has huge balls compared to the two females, as well i bought the two females from a breeder, leading me to belive it isnt a case of mistaken sexuality and the two females really are females and are fighting/ breeding. i am curious as to why, theyve been housed together for 2 months with no problems until just recently. also upon looking at them one appears to have greenish dotes/ discoloration on its head and tip of its mouth, was wondering what that is, stress caused? would be greatfull for any ideas help or suggestions, thanks nick.

not sure about the possibility of homosexual rhacodactylus, but it sounds like you need to seperate the two, if they are fighting all of the sudden.

are you absolutely positive it isn't two males, or a male and a female? i have several tanks that have 2-3 females each, and they don't fight at all.

might want to make sure you actually have two females. my friend sean thought he had two females for a long time then all the sudden, BAM, testicles show up. lol
