When we received our first two ornates, we took them out of the packaging and placed them in a large tub to mist them down. Immediately the larger one started calling and ran his tubby butt over to the other (male) and grabbed a hold of him. I was really surprised! Then the other male started letting out this cry for help! Jeff had to separate them to stop the violating. So, to your question, I know for a fact that you don't have to have a lady to witness some amplexus!!
