Pics- Cali Kings locked up

[_BoidFinatic_]

I am currently breeding 1.1 Eastern King snakes and 1.1 California king snakes. The male Cali king is a normal-patterned chocolate and the female is a banded cali king. The female is 9 years old, 5.5', and about 800g. The male is about 3 years old, 4.5', and about 550g. I am sorry for the low-quality photos. Enjoy:

Well..after 2 months of cooling and 2 months of warming up/feeding, they begin to show interest in each other. It takes patience and time to breed snakes .

Even though they have a high feeding response during this time, they don't care to eat each other, although the males do bite the females to cling on to them.

The first time I watched breeding in calis I freaked out for that reason

I didn't know if there was anything special other than a general cooling. I know i have heard of people with corns, that they don't do anything and they breed themselves no problem. I didn't know if cali's/all kings were this way or if they needed an increase in humidity to stimulate the breeding and all. Thanks
