Which is precisely why I'm currently single .

I've noticed such activity with many of my pairings (talking snakes now), and I have very little experience such far. So I would assume it's somewhat normal. Two of my three current pairings did similiar stuff right after being introduced. One of the females I tried to breed last year, didnt take (hard to without courtship I think). She wasnt real keen on the males climbing on her then... rejecting their advances always. My males were younger/smaller then... so I'm thinking the extra maturity gave the current male with her enough energy to persuade her into letting some action happen. There are many other variables in the equation that could have caused successful courtship, but I'm thinking the male maturity played a big role.
