Diamond python in front of people in Australia

The pythons are constantly entwined, while looking for ways to override the opponent's head to find out who deserves to match the children.

The battle for unbeatable partners between two male diamond pythons was recorded and shared on the Facebook page of Lake Macquarie Snake Catcher on September 1, according to Long Room. In the video, two large pythons tighten their opponents and continue to struggle to dominate the outside of a house on the outskirts of Tingira Heights, New South Wales, Australia.

Colin Shoemark, Lake Macquarie Snake Catcher site manager, said the pythons are fighting. The winner will be allowed to mate with the python nearby.

The male pythons are entwined together, pressing the opponent's head to the ground until its opponent must run away.

"These two male pythons will try their best to entangle each other and press the opponent's head to the ground until its counterpart must flee, ceding the right to mate with the female snake in the area. An unusual sight with many people, " Shoemark said.

Kelly Cox, who lives in the house, said at first she didn't realize they were fighting."I thought they were mating until Colin told me. The war made me feel very impressed , " Cox said. In just two days, the video attracted over 127,000 views and 1,379 others posted it again.

Diamond pythons are solitary species and only stay with mates during mating season. Pythons produce pheromones, chemical signals that inform males living in the same area that they are ready to pair. After mating, females often lay 10-50 eggs.
