Is this the real thing?

[Reptotica26]

I've had my BP's for about 6 months, but they have been in my family for nearly 20 years. They are retired and all that is left from my family's former outreach program called T.R.O.P. <Tropical Rainforest Outreach Program>. Out of nowhere, last week they began this behavior ritualisticly, every night. I finally got a pic of it to share and get your advice. I've never seen them behave this way, and my family members who have owned them, never have either. They have never been sexed, but were always thought to be a male and female, hence their name, Rosie and George. Their last feeding was when they started, actually about 2 hours after, and lasted for several hours. I am in no way prepared for little Rosies and Georges. Thank god my Uncle is a Vet, lol

So, my question is, Does this look like a real courtship? Also, how can a snake be sexed?

If you do not want babys I would not have kept them together( if you wanted babys or not they still shouldnt be together). Id seperate them now and switch their bedding to aspen or news paper. If she does happen to have eggs, just freeze them and toss them out unless you are 100% prepared for them

[butters!]

yes that is for real.
do you always keep them together?

[Reptotica26]

Yes, they have been together since they were brought home as young-inz

If this is the case, and she does lay, I will remove the clutch and give them to my Uncle to be incubated...then get a larger setup to house the new lil ones...I'm actually kinda excited about it...after 20 years, they lay NOW?!?!

***Correction*** Imma girl
I do want them, but am not getting my hopes up, I dont even know if they were really mating, which both of u have failed to mention any answer to my original question. But, like I said, if this is the real thing, of course I'll keep them, just have got to do some re-arranging

OOPs sorry!!

You can sex snakes by probing them or popping them, probing them is better with adults. That looks like they are copulating to me!

sorry, I got a little carried away with butters claims
