Ok, so after much thought and loss of patience (and persuasion from a friend/fellow hobbyist) I put my male into my females enclosure today. Within half an hour they were rubbing together, one hour he was completely on top of her and they start twisting tails, then a couple things happened which I have never experienced nor read about yet. I figure, what better people to ask than here?

First want to note that although my male was on top and they were twisting tails I did not witness a lock. My male stuck the last few inches of his tail straight up while he was on her, is that normal and what does that mean? Ive only ever witnessed this during pooping. Secondly, about an hour after I notice him on top of her, I notice that he moved to where his head is over her tail and his tail is over her head, on her completely the length of their bodies (fourplay maybe? Lol) Anyway, I also notice on the bottom of the enclosure a wad of what appeared to be seman next to her tail....something I have definately not read about with boas. Ball pythons lock up for hours and even longer than a day or more, if they did lock, it couldnt have been more than an hour. I know this is only day one but I would love to learn as much as I possibly can during this whole process. Thank you!
