Unintentional first lock???

[MisterKyte]

So, I accidentally broke the topper to my female normal's tank this morning and I've had her out for more of the day waiting for the rubber cement on the repair to dry up but I decided to dump her in my Lesser's tank about a couple of hours ago since I was kind of sick of having her out, thinking nothing of it.

I went back to check the topper a few minutes ago and found them like this. I thought they were just laying on top of each other but I gave their tails a prod to see if they'd come apart and no siry, seems to be a genuine lock?

Looks like a lock. For future reference, never try to pull them apart, you could do some serious damage. How big is the girl?

That lesser is gorgeous!

Wasn't intending to pull them apart! Just gave them a poke to see if their tails weren't just... being weird.

Normal's pretty heft though and last time I checked, I weighed her in at about 2250g.

Looks like a lock to me. X2 on how big is female?

I have some of those same bowls, lol.

About 2200g, probably a bit more, and ahah, yeah. I picked up a couple at Petco because they were on sale at the beginning of the year.

To be honest, I have no idea what I was expecting. I haven't actually been doing anything temperature wise, if anything, it's been a littler colder since it's winter!
I guess I just wasn't expecting anything, period. My mistake.

You know, I think I found an image that more or less sums up my response.

Lol! well at least she's at a nice healthy weight Keep an eye on her and don't rule out the possibility of needing a small bator / hatchling care And I second that your lesser boy is gorgeous

Yeah, she's definitely ready to breed however, I was really hoping that my rack would come in the mail first before I got around to making the pairings happen! Probably going to get down to building an incubator before the end of February though, just in case.
And thanks!
