Unsual behaviour
Today I saw one rat snake crawling on top of another one in a manner I could only describe as a mating attempt. The unusual part- the snake in question has been probed and determined to be female. Now it wouldn't be the first time a mistake was made regarding a snakes' sex, but I was fairly sure this snake had laid a clutch of slugs in the past. Later in the day, the same snake produced a slug, and she still has several more inside to lay. So undoubtably, it is a female. I've heard of male snakes attempting to mate with other males, but never females attempting to mate (in the male role) with other females! Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?
