| I have for many years now a male A.l.lubricus (for me the prettiest male I ever saw) , and every year I try this male with 3 different females , but immediately on contact he wants to eat these females. I try again tonight for the first time and same thing , he bight every single one !! He is well fed animal so these are not starvation attacks.
Has anyone encountered such a male before ? I am thinking about taping his mouth shut for a few days , eheh.
Regards Andrew | |

| I have tried female to male , put both into a new clean cage , nothing works this guy eats every time. I wonder what happen if I put him in my big Mussurana cage, teach the basterd a lesson. | |

| I have some experience with male Naja sp. that will go into rage and bite every female but most will find a female eventualy that they don't see as a threat or food. But I also know one annulifera that just will kill every snake in range so you could just have a psycho. Sorry. Cheers, Ro. | |

| Thanks G Update - I put my Blackhead Python female into a big tub last night and put the corals in a 1.8m glass sliding cage , it was really great to see them moving in such a big space.... Anyhow I left the glass cage open and every time he bit the female I smacked on the head with my big tweezers , I felt like I was playing an Xbox game eventually he realize this biting is not working for him. I saw they was coupled this morning. I will separate them now and I will play more lubricus Xbox in the next few weeks with the other females. | |

| Amazing colored animal Andrew! I keep them in groups (males/females) for years. Sometime I switch animals for breeding and then it can happen that some smaller males are afraid of bib females. Also males together can be a bit problematic, so I keep one male with several females. I have never lost animals because one of them was cannibalistic. I even feed them together (but I always stay in the snakeroom when I feed the Aspidelaps sp. till the finished.
Cheers, Harold | |

| Thanks Venomlander's and also Harold for your insight. Also interesting is that male although looking Cb is infact a WC animal. They occur sometimes in the wild like this ...You wouldn't think so. | |
