Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Well, NOT to take the obvious route, but to treat this as a serious question....   ..... I've had a tank of males in the same room as a mating couple, and they definitely get really restless and go off feed. However, once it's all over and she stops smelling so desirable, they all go back to normal very quickly.
So, I'd think about taking him further away from her and he should go back to being your good old platonic friend.....

I appreciate you sharing from your experience, your suggestion & reasoning behind it makes total sense. Unfortunately for me being I haven't been as successful in my house hunting as I hoped & just don't have the space I need yet. It was easier during quarantines, etc when they were smaller & had lighter enclosures. I'm afraid for at least this year I'm this year I'll just have to take my thumps & accept the good with the bad. Hopefully soon I'll have that extra space, honestly I cant wait & already have big plans. Thanks again.

Hey Chris
I have some adults that are very fond of being handled also. As soon as i open the cage,they climb right on me and chill out.And not because cage temps or being dirty. They truly seem to enjoy being handled. I think they have some brains and not just a feed and breed mode.
Good luck with the house hunting also.

He just ate on 9/24/2012 & is blue ready to shed so I haven't messed with him much except to change his water & clean his place so I dont know if his little mood swing changed at all yet. It's actually funny you asked about his temperatures because I have been wondering about that & watching it the last few days. I get scared asking about temperatures & humidity setting because everyone has there own opinion but welcome any suggestions if you think it would help or benefit my critters.
Each enclosure is 48"x30"x18" with an 80 watt heat panel on one side controlled by an individual herpstat. I also have a Thermometer in each cage & use a 412L Thermometer gun to double check temps & make sure probes are okay. I have all the cages set to 89.9 in the day on the hot side with a 10 degree night drop on the hot side. The day temp starts to gradually kick in 9am & ends 9pm when the night drop starts to gradually kick in. I have 3 enclosures stacked with the top enclosures hot side on the left, the middle enclosures hot side on the right, & bottom enclosures hot side on the left. I've noticed with the enclosures stacked this way the cool side is never more then 6 degrees different then the hot side in any of the cages. The lighting is set on a timer matching the day/night temp cycle but doesn't seem to have any effect on temperature.
The weather here in PA has been changing getting cooler with a lot more rainy days. I'm not sure if its related to the weather change or because the larger water bowels I keep on the cooler side are not being filled as much since I had a few spills but I noticed the humidity has dropped in each cage a little & is currently between 50-60 degrees throughout the day now. I figured that was good because they all shed in one piece except for the new little one who was shipped during a shed.
If there is anything I forgot to add or wrote down wrong where it doesn't make sense let me know. Thanks in advanced for any advice.

If you want, you can kick off the night drop and there's a good chance he'll come out of "breeding mode" early. Keeping it at constant "Summer Temps" can discourage it and maybe he'll calm down.
Not a guarantee, just a thought.
I had to do it two years ago when a male kept trying to escape his enclosure to get to females.
