    Ha... That's not just a snake thing. Females of a lot of species basically just sit there looking bored while the males do their courting routine.

    As long as she's putting out the right pheromones he'll be interested.

    Congrats, agree with Tommy on keeping them together until you know your girl is gravid. Hope she has a late litter for you, I would have an interest in scrubs if you need to find homes for some.
