kingsnake breeding behavior?

[cknott1048]

I have a pair of kingsnakes that i am trying to breed. They were both taken out of brumation about a week ago.The two are chaseing eachother and biteing eachother.Is this normal behavior?And what is with the body pulseing?Is this normal as well?

It is normal for the male to chase and bite at the female BUT if you have two males or a female that is not "in the mood" then you may not have courting behavior happening. Are you sure you have a pair? Keep a good eye on them, especially if you do have an unreceptive female, the male just may look tastier as a meal than as a lover, you know?

The albino is a proven male, and the common i have been assured is a female.It will be her first breeding.

Then it sounds like they're getting to know each other. With most of mine I leave them together for a day or two at a time. However, I do have a couple of females that I only put males in with while I can watch them in person. Learned the hard way not to trust them all.
