I think it safer for the snake to turn down the lights, put on some Barry White and just rent some snake porn videos

Pythons of the World, Vol II: Ball Pythons by Barker and Barker, p. 216
We don't combat our males. Ball python males are not as quick to combat as some other python species. Typically, only very closely matched males that have never before had the chance will combat. We don't ever expose our older, established maled directly to each other. In ball pythons and other pythons, it is our observation that some youngsters, having been roundly beaten in combat, may not show any courtship behavior for years.
