Re: Is this the money shot.
I didn't intend on a mating, these 2 just love "hanging out together. When we have them out together they tend to stick together, so when we put the larger (suspected girl) back into her tank the smaller (sold to me as a male) tried getting in as well so I just let him get in. I don't keep them together this was just a "sure why not", after about an hour in there this is what I saw, I have seen pics of balls mating and thats what I thought they were doing.
Both snakes are big, the larger of the two is a tad over 5 feet and the smaller is right near 4. I know the pictures don't show it, but they are big. As far as weights I'm not positive. I see that someone mentioned the male being bigger than the female, what tells you whos who? does the male take the "top" all the time?

Males will slide their tail up under the females, so the females tail is on top and the males is on the bottom. It is easy to figure it out from there.

First off the male locks up under her tail area.Second just because they are long enough does not mean that she weighs enough.Being gravid takes alot out of the female as far as making the embreyos(spelling) egg shells and just the time not eating.No one is being rude here just trying to help you out ;)

I didn't think anyone came off rude, I hope my last post didn't seem snappy or anything.
So if the male slides their tales under, than this is male on male? Would a male let another male do this to him?

Until you have them probed it could be a possiblity:O .Some members here have snakes that will breed a water bowl :P .So its possible you could have two males and one is trying to dominate the other.
