Anybody who's been over to my house on a Saturday afternoon has probably seen a bunch of Womas crawling around on the living room floor. (It's exercise day, these are active snakes, I like to let them out to explore once a week.) It's especially neat when the males are out, I sometimes have two separate combats going on at the same time. I couldn't capture it on the pics very well, it happens so fast. But they intertwine their bodies, then lift their front halves vertically and engage in a tug-of-war, all the while continuing to wrap around each other. They fall to the ground, then repeat. Really cool. During breeding season I use multiple males to stimulate breeding. You hear these loud "thunk" noises coming from their room as they crash against the side of the cage. I have found that the ones who engage in this behavior are also the good breeders.
