Spawning Behavior:
|
They were body/belly to body/belly with their tailed hitched together. Then as I waked in the room, they separated, then the female layed flat on the sand and the male sort of stood guard over her and puled his abdomen backwards and forwards a few times. Once this was over, the female left.
|
|
Post Spawn Behavior:
|
Normal behaviour, male and female separate.
