He looks really pretty...Smile

Love his little red chin. We don't seem to have as many "reddish" ones as last year. Sad

Had him out today to 'meet' his partner for next year, she's not quite has big as him yet, so only had them together for a little while, but in that time, it looks as though he was wanting to mate with her!

They were literally together for 10-20 seconds and straight away he started licking and nipping her body, so I took them apart, putting the femalle back.

I then came back over to him, to see him licking around his vent and saw this:





I'm guessing that's him trying to breed with her?

And does that confirm that my other one is a female?

Thanks,

Tom

Usually that is a sign of wanting to breed, one of my males Lucerne does this everytime I get him out if I have been handling females. Are you unsure of the sex of your other one? Just the quote "And does that confirm that my other one is a female?", not meaning to sound harsh but if you were unsure and put two males together by accident it could have been quite nasty, I would assume your other one is female by his behaviour of nipping and licking and also they didnt try and fight.

I am not 100% sure, but it certainly looks like the other one is female, it's almost a year old and there is no sign of any pores or a bulge.

It's not as if I was putting them together in a small space by themselves, I was watching over at all times waiting to get them apart if any signs of a problem even happened. They were together for 20 seconds maximum, and as I say, even if he started to move quickly towards the other one I would have stopped him.
