    i think they are just normal ball pythons,,and i already been reading about it,,it takes forever for them to hatch from the eggs,,lol,,and i need to get a incubator,,which is not much money,,i really dont know what het means either,,i assume u mean like albino or mixed or pure bred?

    They certainly are attempting to mate, Brandon. The 'hook-like thing' you observed is the males' pelvic spur. This is the vestigial pelvic bone found in pythons and boas, the males are able to move it, to stimulate the female during courtship. The female has these spurs also, but hers will be much smaller.
