emaytiti Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 Hi Everyone. I recently brought another bluey for breeding and noticed some scaring/roughed up scales on the head and didnt change for a long time. Today I noticed what is shown below. Alot worse than the original scaring etc, and there is what looks like blood. The scars seem to be all over the head and down the body abit. Is this kind of scaring usual for breeding or is there something wrong? Can someone help me, Im a worried and a bit reluctant to put him back in the tank with the other one. Also have nothing but a plastic container bin to put him in. http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb346/emaytiti/?action=view¤t=DSCF4787-1.jpg http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb346/emaytiti/?action=view¤t=DSCF4790-1.jpg http://s1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb346/emaytiti/?action=view¤t=DSCF4789-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 how do you know they are a male and female pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emaytiti Posted February 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 how do you know they are a male and female pair? Brought this one as a male. Unsure of the other, but never seen them fighting when I got them. I was told they also get quite agressive when mating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 thats pretty much usual (maybe a bit excessive) marking/scaring for females after mating attempts but if thats the male then you really should have separated them at first sign of that. The one causing bite marks is likely a male... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only been today its been this bad. He did have a mark on his head when I got him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
