First hook up....?

This is my first year attempting to breed boas. I am fast learning that it is not as easy as corns and kings..LOL

The last few weeks I have lowered the temps a little, kept the cage pretty dark and sprayed it every day. I assume that the male is at least trying. His head is aligned on top of hers and the tails are atleast aligned the right way. I've seen this before but there was no actual copulation. I didn't want to disturb by checking the vent areas this time. She is in blue now so maybe when she sheds she will be more receptive?

Pic from tonight

Here is a pic from last week of his tail lying sideways.....? At the time he was swaying the tip of his tail back and forth slowly. Is this a sign of anything?

Tail swaying IS a sign of copulation, and from the looks of those pics he is courting her.....
