Ok well I am very new into breeding and have a couple questions about courting and copulation.  I have a female being courted right now by my stud male and he's been riding her everywhere, every once and a while I have noticed him contracting (like a spasm) and there tails are all entwined.  I have heard you never should assume copulation until you actually observe it.  Well I have my boas in a big enclosure thats about 5.5 feet long, 5 wide and 6 high so its hard to get in close enough to tell without disturbing them.  Should I go in there and actually lift his tail or reposition him so that I can see or just wait it out.  They have been together for about 2 months and been all wrapped up together for about a week.  So any advise will be helpful on this or what I should look out for in the coming months since this will hopefully my first success breeding.

Sounds like everything is in place for them to be really mating. What ever you do don't disturbe them, don't even turn the light on in the room. The male will lose interest in her if they have really mated.
