Mating Behaviour in Snakes

Hi everyone,

I have just introduced my bredli together today. They have been together for a few hours now with no disputes or problems. When they were put together (male into female enclosure) the female seemed and still seems to be the most interested in checking the male out. The male is the most active and moving around the enclosure the most but doesn't seem overly interested in the female. At least not too the same extent as the female.

I am wondering what kind of behaviour I should be looking for to indicate that they are at least interested in mating? I went out for a couple of hours and when I came home they were sitting together, tangled together actually, not fighting though. Is this a good sign? Also, who is normally most interested in mating, the male or female?

Thanks.
