Is this a lock?

Well, I've owned and researched ball pythons for three years now, but this is my first time breeding them. This looks like a lock to me, but is it? :please:

Looks like a lock to me. Congrats

If that isn't a lock, it sure is about to be lol

I say lock, hope you get some nice pearly whites.

it's a locking, don't come a knockin ;)

Even if I doubted ya'll, they locked up again after that one. :D Just hoping they finish before feeding day.

Lock and Load!!! Come with me if you want to live!!! Hahahaha

Ralph Davis pointed out something cool in one of his videos regarding locks. He showed a male with a completely obvious "lock", but when he lifted the tail to see hemipenes, they weren't even out. I don't know why he would "lock" but not actually copulate. Maybe it's part of the courtship. Either way they're obviously interested :gj:!

Now I'm paranoid, lol. :oops: But they "locked" again a few hours ago so hopefully they haven't just been cuddling!
