The past two week the temperature has been alot cooler here in Ohio, and during that time i seperated my male BCI from my female BCI for feeding reasons. I put them back together today, and at the moment haven't attempted to cycle them and such, The are both relatively coiled up in a large cork log at the moment. I pryed around a little with a flashligh and his tailed is wrapped around hers, and their cloacas from the best that i can see are in alignemnt. Now i have no idea if this is just pure coincidence or not, and i dare not to pry further and disturb them just in case there is a rare chance they are copulating. THe male has from time to time exhibited mating behavior but, i havn't noticed any recently. So is this possible during this off season? I am just getting too excited for my own good? Is there any shure way to tell perhaps without disturbing them, or after this potential copulation? SHould i restrain from handling the female in days to come?
Anyhelp, even if it "bursts my ballon" would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt
