can a first attempt at breeding only lead to courting and not actual locking up/copulation

One thing is for certain - ball pythons don't use 'the missionary position'! So if the male was lying on top of the female, it's odds on that they were not mating! Alternatively, the male could have been 'spurring' the female trying to get her to respond, or - they were just in that position by chance,when you entered the room. Eric

I've had serveral males stay on top of the female while mating.
