Shaneofall Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Anyone have a break down of the different behavioral traits of the different spp of Hissers or know of a good source? I have a hybrid group from two different sources ( I keep from my pure lines ) and noticed as I was separating, the different color morphs, the "darker large ones" hissed really loud and seemed to attempt escape more actively than the others.

RomanBuck Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Thats an interesting observation... I also have hybrids and the darker ones are all males in my case so they hiss a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaneofall Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 My "black" ones are males and females, or so it seems based on horns. I should take pictures later. I only know wide-horns in this group for sure, but I also found a few "tri-color" looking individuals and a couple very flat, very wide individuals with odd color, suggesting maybe Tigers and flat-horns have also fount their way in the group? I suspect one of my sources had an accidental introduction and the other was a melting pot of species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I have oblongota x portentosa x grandidiri hybrids so I am not too sure on whether its the genes or what but all of the black hissers are all males and females are totally different in color.

Keith Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I found the smaller hissers have more aggression than larger ones, mabye due to their size? I have p vanweirbecki x g oblongonata hybrids. Usually p vanweirbecki are aggressive but my hybrids got laid back temperament of g oblongonata. They got coloring of p vanweirbecki and in between size of both species Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
