Well being this is our first attempt at breeding and I'm coming up pretty empty on the research about courting behaviour, I thought I'd ask you experienced folks some questions.

We introduced our male Malachi to one of our mature females, Kyna about an hour ago (neither have ever bred). Kyna immediately showed interest, slithering all over Malachi who was a bit shy at first. Just peeked in on them and they are doing this odd sort of posture is the only way I can describe it. They aren't in a lock but both are sort of checking each other out and they have their tails curled way up. Is this some sort of prelude to mating/normal courting behaviour? I've never seen either snake hold their tail in this position and they are both doing it at the same time.
