    is he going to get squished?!?

    so i think my normal female is growing folicles, soo i have up'd her feeding and put around a 650g mojave in with her. (she is around 1500g) They arent locking but its only been three days in together. But she wont get off of him, she coils on top of him and wont move. she is VERY bitey right now and simply opening the lid she is striking. Ive moved her off once but she goes right back and gets on top of him. I dont want her to squish him. What should i do?!? should i be worried?

    He'll be fine. However, I wouldn't leave him in with her for more than a day or two at a time if they aren't locking up to help reduce the stress on him.

    so here's a little tip on handling b!tchy BPs, I also do this with my bp when I'm moving her from her feeding box after she's had her fill.

    Get a t-shirt or wife beater, open her cage and gentle drop the t-shirt over her head, this always calms them down. then simply pick your bp up. they shouldn't strike once picked up, my girl never strikes, but I don't wanna be a comfortable fool and assume she won't after 9yrs.

    That's what I do also. I use a pillow case. Works like a champ
