Eating their current fling?

On another board there is a posting about a female that ate the male that was put in with her for breeding. The posters name looks familiar from here though I'm not sure so they may jump in an give the specifics. In any case, other then being a devistating shock to the owner, has anyone else ever had this happen?

Now I have something else to be paranoid about..! Geez, if this happened to my snakes, I would be going nuts.. hopefully this does not happen.. I am interested in anything anyone has to add.

I'd copy the whole story but I don't think it's allowed. What is worse is that it was a morph male, a cinny I believe.
That would be a hard thing to find. Or not find as the case may be. I just feel really really bad for the owner. Not too often your investments can eat each other.

great, i thought tarantula breeding would be difficult since there's a good chance the female will eat the male but i didnt think it would be possible for the same thing for snake breeding.

I doubt this is common. Tarantulas make a habit of it. :D

Adult Ball pythons eating one another while breeding, highly unlikely. but I guess anything is possible? :O

Wow thats pretty crazy...

I'd be a little skeptical until I saw some pictures though...

Off Topic: Ed that is one classy avatar...looking good:sweeet:

I don't believe the male was an adult Ed. I believe I've seen you on the forum I'm referring to so I'm sure you'll see the post eventually.

can you PM me the link or somethin?
