They are more docile when they are gravid.
Is the docile one the second you collected?

YES! How did you know? The second one that I found is more calm. When you say it is gavid, are you saying it is pregnant? I collected the second one more than a month ago so it should be laying eggs then right?

The one that is more aggressive, are you saying it is aggressive because it is sexually frustrated?

Yeah - should be laying soon if it is gravid (pregnant).
It may become a lot more aggressive after it lays.
