In Reply to: AC, I have NOT seen inherited Aggressive.. posted by dryguy on October 12, 2002 at 20:12:11:

Perhaps his point Carl.... was in part from my post where I have definitely observed first hand (on a number of occasions) where aggresive behavior was clearly linked to genetics. If it could happen in boas...it would not be a giant leap of faith to apply the possibility of this mechanism functioning in the guardians...ka piche?

:behavior in any of my clutches...Just clearing that up...I do see a couple from each clutch that are "snappy", however, I suspect eveyone does...Can anyone say that they have observed a trend toward aggressiveness from their "nasty" boys offspring???
:I hope Rob S still looks in here occasionally..Rob what's your opinion/observation?? My friend Fred, what do you say? Deanno, Dan?? How about the real experts, Chuck E, any info/opinion to share?? Carl Gossett snotex@adelphia.net GDHerps

::Chris,

::I would definately take the time to read all the posts. We got some great feedback on the subject. I did like your post on maladaptive behavior...very nice. Never thought of it that way! However, unless we find indigos in the wild with severe scarring and "battlewounds", I think it is safe to say that we can DIRECTLY link this type of breeding behavior to captivity. I know of breeders who let their males combat so that the victor is allowed to mate with the female. This is fine by my book! It's stimulation (yes, better word than Anger, Dan) ...heck...it's way easier to breed my hognose when I have 2 males and only 1 female together in a tank!!

::Also, I belive it was Carl who said he saw agressive behavior in the offspring of his alpha males.
