Everytime i let my Rolo (Female) out she will run over to Wubbzies (Male) tank and he will start doing what looks like a mating dance! I dont its mating dance i just know what i've seen on youtube. So i video taped it so you all can see what i see and maybe someone can tell me whats happening. After she is done basking near his tank and i put her back in her tank she will scratch the glass like she is tying to get out or to him. when she is near him and he is doing his dance she will turn her back to him. can someone please shed some light on my darkness

The 'dance' your mail is doing is actually a well documented behavior known as head bobbing. Males do this to show dominance before mating with a female. They also do this as a form of being territorial. So either your male wants a new girlfriend or he was defending his terriotory :roll:

Id be more inclined to say it was territorial considering the way he ran right at her.
Just dont let her hang out infront of his viv and things will be fine :)

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
