I had some animals with me yesterday at the expo out of my personal collection that didn't sell. I decided to pair up my female calico with my male pewter bee granite. I have paired them in the past but the male hadn't been locking with females at that point so it was a bust. He has been locking with a few other females since then. Fortunately I was cleaning the rats in there today about an hour after I put them together. I heard a few thuds and looked over to realize the pewter bee is full on sparring at the female, who was not returning the gesture. I pulled the pewter bee out and MAN that was intense.

So I'm wondering, has this ever happened between a male and a female, perhaps if the male is a spider combo and is stressed out from being at the expo? I bought the calico from Dan Wolfe and while I realize mistakes happen, they probably happened to him less of the time than average. I have probed and popped the calico myself more than once and while I'm not very good at popping, she probed 3 scales multiple times.
