may very well have mistaken her as a competitor rather than a goal.

:rofl: :rofl: so the girls are just goals, huh? nice :rolleyes:.

i'm here cuz i'm just being nosy but i had to comment on that one.

ive had this happen with a male an female. he calmed down and locked with her and she laid 3 eggs 3 slugs. she was with another male so his sent might of been in her tub and like others said went into fight mode instead of barry white mode hahah

My female does the same thing when a male is introduced. However! is it common for her to do this to a rat as well? She hasnt eaten in 3 weeks now and anytime i offer she throws her body at it just like she did the potential mate.. im confused lol.

Strange goings on here, lol.

You say the sex isn't in question but have you ever seen this female lock with any male?

I've never seen a male attack a female, very weird...

ive never even heard of a 3000 gram male. i wasnt aware they got that big. are you sure you dont have 2 females....lol

Yes. I've even seen the sperm plugs. :)

See my profile for a pic of him. He's just huge.

Same thing happened to me recently..

I left them together and let them work their differences out. I also didnt have the size difference like u do. I had to open the tub and touch the snakes twice just to kinda distract them from fighting.
They eventually hooked for a few days. I just paired them back up and they are fine.

Try putting him into her enclosure, maybe hes just territorial.
