Childreni Help Needed

[Jakee]

Hey guys,

I have a pair of childrens python, both have been probed and one is a male, the other is a female.. I introduced them together last september and they got along fine, no fighting or wrestling up until tonight... I watched the male follow the female around the tank curling around her, both flickering and wiggling their tails, female had her cloaca open.. then out of know where the male started biting her. He bit her about 5 times in the matter of 10 seconds.. I have now seperated them.
Has anyone seen or heard of this behaviour before ?

Cheers,
Jake
