Noticed some interesting behavior today with our angulated group. We have been having some really hot days 100-110+ with warm 70-80 degree nights. The male in with this group of females has been on a mission all evening. Chasing, pushing and flipping one on her side. He’s usually very mild mannered and will circle the females while bobbing his head at them. The female in this video he’s taken particular interest in. They always sleep in the same spot together and are frequently caught rubbing noses. It’s pretty cute actually. So I’m curious if anyone else has seen this change to more aggressive behavior during the heat? Maybe it’s a trigger to amp up breeding? I can separate him if needed but he’s always been so peaceful and I’ve seen him breeding earlier this season using his less aggressive, more seductive, behavior. ? I certainly found it interesting and I’m keeping a close eye on them.
