feeding while breeding pt 2

First of all thanks to everyone for their input! I have another observation I would love some input on. When I feed my boas I separate them, feed them, and then after a few days I put them back together. It seems that as soon as I put the males back in with the females they immediately start courting. Once one of the females lifted her tail as if to say "lets get it on!" I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and if it may be because of separating them for a couple of days or something else entirely. Thanks again Mike

That's what I've heard. I have also noticed boas will normally do that passing urates and stool, while on the move.
