what (if any) is the mating ritual of a boa? reason i ask is because my male seems to be constantly laying his tail over or next to the female and he keeps rubbing or sliding his tail along side her. Im wondering if this is some sort of routine action done by a male when courting the female to try to get her in the mood.the male seems to rather enlarged in the genital area and keeps pulsating or "dry humping" against the side of the female toward her genital area. so far ive not seen her give in but then again im not home all the time either. I know I could easily just lift the female's tail up so that the male can do his thing but i have a feeling thats just going to get me or the male bit so im just leaving it up to nature. anyway like i said, ive seen countless things on the basics of boa breeding but really nothing on the mating rituals or courtings of boas. is there an indepth article somewhere or can someone elaborate on the subject? would appreciate it.
