How easy to be disturbed?

Today, when I came home, I opened a tub and I saw my male and female were lock. It looks like at least.

This is my first time seen it. I was so afraid to disturbed. I did 't take pictures or anything. When I pushed the tub to close. They started moving and not locking anymore? Are they really this easy to be disturbed? Or they were not locking?

Will they get back to lock again soon?

Thanks

Sometimes they'll be positioned like they're locked but with no actual copulation. It also may have been that they were getting ready to copulate or were finishing up and that's why they separated quickly because of that. The first scenerio is porbably what happend, though. In my experience, they usually don't separate quickly like that if they are actually locked.

I had never thought about that. :confused: I'm interested in what other breeders say about this.

Oh no !!!! If I stop them being lock, I won't forgive myself.

Want them to lock so bad. Will they do it again?

Thanks

I take pictures of locks all the time, typically they won't separate if they have a good solid lock, but I'm careful not to move too quickly or bump them too hard when I take pics.
If your snakes are skittish then you want be careful when photographing them during their intimate moments ;)

lol, congrats :gj:

Congrats! Thats awesome

I had to ask a similar question this year since I really wanted to photograph all locks for documentation/pedigree purposes, but REALLY didn't want to disturb anybody ... :rolleyes:

Someone else replied that if you do disturb them and they "unlock," they should go back to it very shortly -- sure enough, I did disturb one pair and they were back "on" about an hour later.

Congrats on the lock though -- what morphs are they? ... You have some wild sounding stuff listed in your sig line there ... :gj:
