my gay tristis orientalis

Hugo Jun 05, 2005 11:47 AM

Hi There,

I've got 2 tristis O. from when they where 3 weeks old.
they are now about 3 years and you can clearly see that they are 2 males.
Now the last couple of mounths I see one of the males (the biggest one) trying to have sex with the other male. you can see that this bothers the smaller male, cause he's running away every time. other than that they are both eating and doing good.
Now is my question if this sexual behaver is gonna be a problem?
I am looking for a female to introduce to the brothers, but untill I find one they'll have to play with eachother.
(they do have a very large enclosure so they can hide from eachother)
hope some of you can give me some info on this
Cheers,
Hugo

Separate them in 2 cages. One is dominting the other so it will suffer and die from stress. This is one way they get rid of competition for property, resources, etc.
