Two python snakes fighting

Two pythons (snakes) arguing. At least I think they're arguing...

Apparently this is a mating rights thing - they're wrestling over who gets to bed a female (who is most likely in the area somewhere).

This is pythons mating not fighting. There's other vids of this exact thing.

It may look like they're wrestling, but when pythons mate it's a lot less aggressive since they're not venomous. Venomous snakes bite, while constricting snakes look like they're battling to be on top.

Btw, you can't really tell a snake's gender unless you probe them. Male snakes wouldn't twist like this, & they can tell females from males by the pheromones females give off.

@steelabs03 idiot like you have no clue what you were talking about. They are both male, how can fight ?

This is a fight between two male snakes for the right to the female. They will wrestle like this until one gives up and takes off, leaving the winner to return to the female for mating.
