I had a time with my girls fighting the other day. I knew they would fight to guard their nest. I had them apart for over a month. I put them back together, and the next day I found one of my girls beat up pretty good. I called Bert, he said they will fight until it is time to hibernate. He said one in 10 females would even fight the following spring. I have them all apart for now. They will also attack the male sometimes. I am beginning to think I am breeding crocodiles, lol. They also tend to be aggressive towards me as well. :rolleyes:

I heard they were very aggressive when guarding the nest, but I found out these mommas can get real nasty when on guard. :rolleyes: They do not act like this when they are not brooding. Funny thing is they are not guarding anything, the eggs are in the incubator. :)
