I placed one of my male D. m rubidus into the enclosure of my largest female and she pinned him!

I posted a photo of this last year, posted once again below, but this year it's a bit different, as she not only pinned the male, but initiated the twitching action while doing so.

Has anyone else witnessed this sort of behavior from their female Drymarchon spp. during breeding efforts?
