hissing & striking

They are put together for breeding but only for brief periods of time. They are never just left together for weeks or months. Or are you asking more specifically about the mechanics of breeding?

Ummmm do you mean in the wild or in captivity Teej?

I was curious in captivity as to how they were put together and how long if they are not a social breed. Teej

Here's a great reference page that should answer a lot of your questions.

I'm curious - have either of these snakes been seen by a vet? Their conditions certainly warrant it!

Yes, both have been examined by a vet.

also if u wat him to get used to your scent put one of ur used t-shirts or hats in his tank so he gets used to you and also i can almost gaurantee that having the two snakes together is taxing on both of them and just removing one of them to another tank that may be all thats needed

Now I know what those petstore pythons are doing. I never understood why they were kept together in pet shops. Only certain reptiles can be kept together (in small quantities).
