Anyone find Tylototriton shanjing to be "MEAN"?

[steve]

I have two Tylototriton shanjing and one "recently" started to hide in the moss alot. When I was feeding both of them, the one that always hides under its log tried to bite the "moss hider" twice. The "moss hider" then took another worm and went hiding between a log and the water dish.

Is this a sign of a male/female thing or is that normal?

*Just wondering. Its hard to tell what sex i have.

That's not being mean, that's just a normal response to food. At feeding time, many newts and sals get excited and begin to snap at whatever is moving, including other newts.

was wondering though , since one hides alot, does it help with identifying the sex?
