[QUOTE="ismart, post: 140398, member: 584"] I'm rather surprised your males are that ballsy! The point is to creep up without being detected. Not smack em in the head! :lol: Mating D. bolivari is probably one of the more intense mating rituals. The male makes him self known by going into full threat display in front of the female before making an attempt to mount. The female is well aware of what is about to happen! :blink: I had one male mate four different females this way. Seemed pretty crazy to me! I often wondered what kind of brawl would have insued should the female not be ready? :lol: My male was bigger than all four females! [/QUOTE]
