Ultimate Male aggression

[Phobik1]

I keep mainly terrestrials simply because i like to abserve them but also, many can be fairly relaxed and easy to rehouse or do cleaning. My question is when a male becomes mature does he automatically become more aggressive because he is looking to mate or does it really matter?

Not in my experience. If anything it might make them more skittish and prone to bolt, if only because the instinct is to not get killed when they’re all ready to mate. Do you have a mature male displaying signs of aggression?

I have a mm that i have never handled. Hes alway been cool, maybe a lil bit skittish. I would really like to let him out once for a stroll and maybe handle him just once. Get some good photos. Also wish i could find him a suitable female as the girl i have is not quite up to size.

No, they may become restless, as they will constantly be pacing around their enclosure in order to attempt to seek out a male. Any defensiveness would just be a normal individual personality trait (or mood at the moment).
