    help me figure this out please

    Well I ran into some behavior in what I was sure was a female ball that i have never seen before
    I introduced a male enchi into "her" tub
    "she" started tail wagging and doing something with her vent kind of opening it and draging it on the ground

    now I have seen males do this and I haven't popped her in well over a year as when i bought her I bought her 3 sisters too and all of them are female and I sexed(popping) them when I bought them and when they turned two and all 4 looked female
    this behavior had me wondering so I pulled the male and put him in with one of her sisters and popped her and she still looks female to me
    so I am posting a pic of "her" popped asking if you see anything that I do not and if any one has seen that behavior out of a female before[IMG][/IMG]

    She's just scenting the place up, all part of the tail wagging routine. Should leave the male in there.

    I'm actually a little surprised that you've never witnessed this behavior before! Quite a few of my girls do it when a male is introduced - it's hilarious to watch.
