Pinning is always a sign of dominance, even when mating, though it's normally the male which takes the initiative. This was definitely mating behavior, as the female also initiated body twitching and cloacal alignment.

I know what is going on, just want to know if anyone else has observed such behavior from their females, as having worked with Drymarchon spp. for over 20 years, I have yet to encounter such behavior on behalf of a female.

Oh yeah, they did lock up...





Best regards,



Jeff
