Very funny, Steve..... a sort of "mantis syndrome", if you will?

Indeed, except that in this case you would likely never get to the mating phase before decapitation occurs. Leachies are some rough trade breeders when they start tearing into each other. I have gone into my herp room and found my male with a female's head entirely in his mouth. Yet with my other female he is gentle as can be.
Needless to say the first female and he are on extended time out. I don't think a female leachie would give a crestie male the courtesy of just holding on to his head in her mouth. She would likely go for that protein. WHAM!!!
