Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Reintroduced the male into the female's cage after a small meal and couple day break. I was actually going to wait another day, but the male was tearing up his cage today. Pretty sure ky guess as to why was accurate because he immediately started courting her again and was locked within 10 minutes. They've been at it for almost 2 hours now. A little while ago I saw him tensing up every 10-20 seconds, so I'm guessing those were ejaculatory spasms.
She's showing some swelling on her lower 3rd in the last day or so (hard to tell from the pictures, but you can kinda see it), so it seems ovulation is probably occurring. Fingers crossed!!!

That's not ejaculatory spasms if I'm not mistaken but are the result of him "spurring" the female with his vestigal legs.

Not saying you're wrong, but I witnessed spurring last week without any spasms. In fact, I got to witness him moving his spurs independently in a circular motion. It was pretty cool to see since I've only heard of them doing that before then.
What I witnessed today were whole-body muscle contractions while they were actually locked (or at least I think they were considering their alignment was right and he was definitely everted). That's why I was thinking they had to do with ejaculation instead of spurring.
I've got a video I'll try to upload sometime soon to show what I mean.

Snakes don't ejaculate. Sperm has to a actually swim from one snake to another.

Technically they do have to ejaculate. Otherwise the sperm wouldn't be mixed with the other fluids that make up seminal fluid itself. That's nothing specific to snakes but really for most, if not all, vertebrates. My understanding has always been that it's effectively in slow motion with snakes as compared to mammals, but it's still a part of their mating.
I'll post the clip as soon as I have a chance to show what I saw (or at least what you can see of it im ther clip), but it certainly appeared to be an ejaculatory spasm as they appeared to be locked already and he was not visibly spurring.
