Male Maculosa Combat

[Sdaji]

I've found that if you stick two males together they'll usually fight at first (although I've never had biting or anything serious - just twisting up etc) but after 30mins or so they calm down. Last year I had four male carpets in with my female and saw no combat at all, they were all together for about a week. This year I put two males in with her and at first the males twisted up etc but then got along as well as any two snakes could, I left them together for a few days without trouble (just separated them this morning). I did something similar with water pythons too this year, two boys in with my girl, they were twisting up, chasing each other around etc but then settled down within an hour and got along comlpetely peacefully for the next week, before being separated (I'll stick them together again this season).

My bredli are being a bit dull, no action there, but I only have one male, I'm thinking about sticking a small brisbane carpet male in with them to spur on my male but I wouldn't dare leave them unsupervised in case the brisbane copulated with the bredli. I tried sticking a male brisbane slough in with the bredli but it did nothing. I was even considering sticking a male water python in there to see what would happen.
