Crazy behavior question

[jsschrei]

OK, I've read a few threads on here about the male acting nuts when introduced to the female's tub. Many of the replies said that males can do this, take out the bowl and let them act nuts and that they'll calm down and they'll get down to business.

Has anyone every had the female actually harmed from a male that acted like this? My male immediately started thrashing when I placed him in the female's tub. Thrashing and lurching.

I've probed both animals and am very confident that I am pairing a male with a female. The female has been showing building behavior (on the cool side of tub, bowl wrapping, belly rolling and she's glowing). I suck at palpating so I don't bother to do that. She's also wagging her tail.

I think I just need some confidence building replies that my female's going to be ok and for some folks with experience with males that do this to tell me, "it'll be fine, put him back in there. The female won't get hurt." But if anyone has have a female get bitten or harmed otherwise by a male acting like this I'd love to hear about it.

Thanks to all that reply.

I've watched them both thrash the tubs and each other and while it's a bit intimidating I don't pull the male.
Never seen one snake bite the other even when it was quite obvious he or she didn't want to be in with them.
Watched my yb male trash about the other day with his girlfriend trying to stay out of the way, lol.
They were locked up 2 hours later...
