my 8' female burm has been moving about the cage with her tail lifted,flesh from the direction of the tail puffed slightly out of the cloaca undulating her tail in a slow "s" like motion.she wasn't cooled down last winter(i know,breeding season's long over anyway)and the male that she shares a cage with isn't responding anyway.she usually does this nocturnally.she is eating well and appears otherwise healthy.what the heck is going on!?

It may be that she wants to breed, but it may not have to do with breeding at all. Sometimes they will do this when they are communicating subservience to another python that they may feel threatened by. Is the male larger than her or was he out of her cage for any length of time and THEN returned to her cage?
