Last night I started noticing them copulating and the larger one being the aggressor. He/she is the one that is placing her head above the other ones head and doing most of the positioning. Does this help confirm the sex or am I still out in the dark. The two smaller ones have never had the appetite the larger on has ether though.
This is my first time with snakes, if you can't tell. I have had them most of my life but being in the Marine Corps did not allow me the space or the longevity to try to breed them. I have bred Leopard Geckos and Old English bulldogs but never snakes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Brad.

I have a couple of questions... I'm by NO MEANS an expert, but.. here goes...
Why would you house THREE ball pythons together?
Better yet, not knowing the sex, why would you even keep TWO together? I am guity of keeping snakes together,
but since I switched up and put everyone in their own tub, so much has changed for the better. (feeding responses, sheds...etc)

I really hope everything turns out well for you, but please, do them a favor and look into a nice rack system. They will be much happier if you do. :)
I think they both look normal, but man oh man! that lighter one,
in the "male position" Dr. Del described, is a beauty!

Good luck with everything!

Thanks everyone for the help. I hope you all are talking about the snakes that monk90222 was talking about and not me with the H comment. JK. :)
My intent is to set them up into a rack system sence I am starting back into leos and will need to do it any ways. I also just got some feeder breeders and once they start doing what they need to I think the snakes will do alot better. my LPS never has the right size food. I have to buy a lot of mice to feed the three.
Well thanks again, you all are great. Brad
