I feel really bad today. I checked on my snakes this morning and found my male lesser het pied dead in the tub that I just put him into last night. He had some bruising around his cloaca but other then that he looked fine. I've been cycling him though a group of females and he's been breeding great all year so far, I've even had him in with this particular female in the past and they were fine together. The only thing I can think of is that the female killed him sometime last night. Has anyone else ever had a female kill a male? Does this happen? If so, why? I also lost my male banana earlier in the year in a very similar way and I'm just really feeling at a loss right now.
