Hello, here's my situation.....



I have 2 beautiful ball pythons (one male 9yrs old and one female 7yrs old) who have been lovingly sharing the same cage for 6yrs now. During mating season they always mate in a quiet behaved fashion and I just always see them with their little tails together. This year is different as I am noticing much more aggressive behavior with my boy towards my girl and it is so much so that I have been keeping them separated for the first time in 6yrs!! My boy gets rather harsh with her and violent in the cage shoving the logs around to get to her.... this is so unlike him! I would like to know if anyone has experience with this kind of mating behavior? Why now, after six years is he acting this way, and will it stop, so I can put them back together? Thanks if anyone has advice.



Dawn
