Can two males lock up?

WOW :O I didn't know that :O How can that even happen, how does that even work :confused: That's weird :weirdface

I think they call that prison ____.

I had a mis-sexed ball python and when another male was place in the enlcosure all they did was knock around the cage...?? I mean some hardcore knocking.... LOL The whole tub was moving around.... I immediately removed the male and sexed the other and it was a male..... I had never sexed the snake but it was sold to me as a female..... I didn't know they would lock like that...

I am a lesbian and i am glad to see that you are all progressive enough to look at gay snake porn.

i have two males and kept them together for a very short while when i first got the second one and they never locked. i guess they were both bottoms.

Maybe they weren't liberal enough

Lots of folks on this site emphasize that snakes should not be kept together in the same enclosure but never give a good reason. I'd say this is a good reason. :O

Maybe it should be included in the care sheet. :gj:

The ones I posted the pic of, the one was mis-sexed, so I put them together and they locked twice... third time they battled and behaved like males combatting.

I pulled them and probed the supposed female to find out they were both males.

I pulled the male het (the one I REALLY wanted to breed with one of my females) and I was not able to get him to breed for me at all last year. He did breed this year, but it was a HUGE production for him.

Basically my negligience last year scared him off breeding.

But it is a similar risk taken when people battle males, they may scare one off of breeding.

I have had two males lock up...for hours. I was under the impression one was a female, but the next time I attempted to breed them, they went into combat mode. I probed & they are indeed two males.

Wow....I was under the impression that lesbians never played with balls.
