My male Burm is 7 years old and has 3 times exhibited "courting" behavior. He arches, flips his water tub (which contains 8 buckets of water; weighs a ton!) as if it were nothing, and pushes and tail wraps me if I have him out; and never has tried to bite. Could be other snakes setting him off, not sure. He is a real handful to get back in the enclosure when he's doing this, at 13' you get his head and half his body in and by the time you get the rest his head is on the way out...

But like I said, he has never bitten or tried to bite when in this mood.
