    Seriously - I've seen this behavior off and on for years. My bt cribo pair does it and they've been together for years. They eat, shed, crap, and make whoopee just fine. I'm just wondering where someone saw two snakes coiling together and ASSumed that it was some sort of dominance display.

    Again - if you can drudge up a study or something based in fact that proves that this is a dominance display, I'll cheerfully agree with you.
    She wrote a book on keeping ball pythons, she MUST know what she's talking about.....
