Right idea, wrong end

Well, I've been pairing my normal female and pastel male for a number of months now, with little interest between the two of them. I had given up, until recently noticed building behavior from the female, and she's still off feed, but not losing weight (only 50 grams after not having fed since Dec), so I decided to try again. Lo and behold, they were no longer fleeing to the opposite end of the tub and sulking in balls! Instead, I've been seeing some serious cuddling and possible locks--but of course, they get antsy whenever I open the tub to check, so I try to leave them alone when I see them looking like they're locking.

I checked them just now, about five minutes ago. And I had to snap photos.

I suppose we all at some point go through that awkward teenage stage, where "It" is very exciting and confusing. But I don't think any of us have ever been quite this confused about it.

I'd like to apologize for the picture quality on the first pic. I took it through the side of the tub with no flash, because I knew they'd move if I opened the tub, lol. (And they did!) But you can get the gist of it.

That was after he started chasing her HEAD with his tail. She was pulling away, and he followed her with his tail, lol.

A better pic, after she'd (mostly!) escaped his nefarious clutches.

Hope this made you smile. :)

haha that is pretty funny...never seen that before. :rofl:

Winston was doing the same thing yesterday! LOL

Hehe, never heard of that happening before.

Too funny!

One of our males was doing that last breeding season. It was his first so we started him on the smallest of the breedable size females. He did just great on a couple of them but when he was put with our biggest female (Brannagh) he was VERY confused. He kept working his way up and down that big length of her, tail wrapping like mad. Mike and I wondered if he was thinking "okay there has just GOT to be a vent here somewhere!!!!!!"
