Stumbled onto this looking for some other stuff, and figured I would post it since not everyone has seen this interesting behavior before.

Seems that whenever most all non-herp folks see this, they assume they are mating.......thus the title of the video..

Very different from mating. Wouldn't that be cool to see in person. Those are 2 beautiful kings!

I've actually noticed that in my snake room....but never in the wild except for videos and pictures.

I've paired up males before to induce male combat, which, in turn induces breeding. I've also paired up males on accident before.....thinking one was a female.....lol

Poor planning and procrastination on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part...

LOL! That is how I found out one of my pyros was actually a male...instead of sensual courtship the other male tried to bite the hell out of him.

Keeping cats allows man to cohabitate with tigers. Keeping reptiles allows man to cohabitate with dinosaurs.

Your absolutely right, most herpers even, confuse combat with copulation.

In my experience, observing copulation is far far more common, then observing combat, but there is a real big difference, They will continue to combat when in the presence of people. But stop copulating and flee when people are around. thanks

Very cool video Doug. Thanks for posting that. (Maybe they are living an alternative lifestyle ) LOL.. Never seen that in the wild, that is for sure.
