My male pastel is freaking out!

[twistedtails]

When I put my male in my females cage this last time she was tail wagging.

THATS about the craziest it ever got to be honest.

I HAVE heard of one snake biting the other. But usually you only hear about stuff like THIS situation where one snake is incorrectly sexed.

Can you probe "her"?

I have caught her tail waggin' a few times also. In fact when cleaning cages last night she was tail waggin' and musking in the tub they sit in while being cleaned.

Thing is BOTH males and females will tail wag.

Id double check everything still.

Unless your otherwise POSITIVE on they're sex, I'd give em a little break and try again.

But I'd pay close attention while they're together.

They might just be really ready to get it on

I guess what I'm saying is, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Yes they both will. Go double, triple check....if you know what you're doing that is. Then come back to us "experts" for some advice.

It is true what someone else said also. Males can try and drink flavored water wherever they can sometimes. Some males will drink with them, and others will tail wag.

By the way. Big Gunns really has no room to talk. He has incorrectly sexed quite a few animals over the years. This includes one of the best snakes he ever produced.

Yeah...even somebody as perfect as Big Gunns can mistake a females vent for a (favorite food eaten at baseball games) on a baby ball python.

TPG thinks BG likes to read himself talk! . . . lol but TPG finds it amussing!

To the OP again if ur 100% sure throw em back in!

[Sloanreptiles]

We have had it happen once when we put them together they started freaking out and whipping every where, after about an hour they where locked up. They are both sexed right too. Id say keep pairing them. Definently make sure you have them sexed right.

[Big Gunns]

So, do you suggest I pair them back up?

Big Gunns suggests you make 100% sure of the sex of the animals before you do so.

I have caught her tail waggin' a few times also. In fact when cleaning cages last night she was tail waggin' and musking in the tub they sit in while being cleaned.

This usually means she's not in the mood for booty(again kids...booty equals flavored water). Check the sexes and if they are the sex you thought they were, wait a couple weeks and try to give them some flavored water again.


Does anyone have any idea how hard it is for Big Gunns to follow the TOS?

Big Gunns gets a gold star for trying so hard!

I did have a male and female display combat behavior one time last year, and yes, I knew it was a female, because she laid eggs the year before, and he had sired a clutch the year before. Only happened one time though.

But, as well as the others have already suggested, double and triple check those sexes.

[shaunwithbite]

best thing is to re-check the sexes again.. who knows... it might be just foreplay... hehehe..
