Hi, 2 Hermanns, We have ? one of each as I know it is too early to tell as they are only 17months old!!! however Alf nips sofia's feet and he has been trying to ?bite the top of her head, she doesn't seem to bothered about this and doesn't move away, they seem perfectly happy with each other when he is not doing this. They have a very large enclosure and have plenty of room and hidey holes to go in but inevitably end up in the same terracota pot!! They are eating drinking etc as normal.

Any advice would be appreciated as I am wondering are they ? both males then?? and what should I do??
Thanks all
Sian :?

Hi Sian

Without a picture of the tail end of the plasteron, we cant give an educated guess as to their sexes.
Males will fight for alpha male position, and males will try and get the females attention by biting.

Hi Sandy

Thanks for the reply, I put pics of their tail ends on 11th Oct and for some reason I am unable to get them on to this post for you too see! probably user error!! I think they are one of each and would think it is him trying to get her attention!! if you have a chance try to see their previous pics.

I will keep an eye on them!! thanks for the info Sandy
