red sided garter

[Damion930]

just something I found interesting shemale snakes male that release pharamones and attract other males into breeding balls after hibernation how they do it and why not clearly understood Ther are several theorys but nothing proven what are your thoughts

[infernalis]

All garter snakes do that.. it's believed they do it to lure unwitting males away from the female during breeding.

However, females can and do mate with more than one male, and SHE can chose what sperm she wants to use.

here is a nice article..
