    What are the odds that BP males lock?

    So... I've purchased a "male" fire earlier this year and it's around the 1200g range. I figure he'd be ready to breed to my females. I've tried numerous times to pair up with some known females but with no success. A bit frustrated over the matter, I tried to put it in the same bin with a known male that's currently breeding, just to see what would happen. I'm not so good with popping snakes so I never tried and I also dont have a probe kit to check its sex properly. I figure this would be a good indicator, or at least give me a good idea. I've also read that this may stimulate breeding behavior, if anything.

    After the first hour, no thrashing or pushing against each other. They were actually huddled together in the corner. I went out for a couple of hours and this is what I saw upon my return:



    I've read that males CAN lock with each other, so maybe someone can shed some light on this for me. Could this be a fluke? or do I have a female in my hands? If it's a female, is this lock detrimental to her future breeding? The fire is a 2010 animal.

    Thanks for any insight.
