Anyone else ever see 2 males "lock up"!!

garycrain Jan 06, 2006 05:40 PM

A friend brought by a big "female" to breed with a pastel male of mine....

Anyway I found them with their tails in the air and wrapped up just like breeding pairs. I checked back and they werent locked up so I put "her" back in with his other female I am keeping and 2 hours later they were locked up. I pulled them apart and no mistake, its a male..

Anyone else?

Yes, males will breed other males. It's a show of dominance.
