Corn Snake Breeding Behavior.

Question
QUESTION: From reading some of your past questions/answers, it seems my corn snake is wanting to breed. I'm about 85% sure of her being female- I base this off tail tapering and a scale count of 114, though she has not been popped or probed so I understand I could easily be wrong. She is about 3 years old. She has always been a consistent eater, and no factors of her enclosure have changed. I believe what set her off this year is the introduction of a new baby corn snake to the home. Also, I've moved out and keep my place a bit colder at nights than when I lived with my grama. (Butters the corn snake has a ceramic heat emitter, so I'm not worried about freezing her, but I'm sure she has felt the difference.)

So, since I think I know what's going on, my question to you is What should I do?? Do I continue trying to feed her as normal? Do I just sort of ignore her sudden activity and escape attempts and wait for her to settle down? If I am going to just wait it out, about how long can I expect her to act this way?

(For the record, I intend for baby Bug to live with Butters in the future, but am waiting at least a year for Bug to grow first.)

ANSWER: Continue as normal.  Females won't usually go off feed unless they get pregnant.  You could also see if anyone around you has a male you could borrow for a weekend!!!

QUESTION: I forgot to mention that baby Bug is proven female from her breeder. Is is normal for a female to be initiated into a breeding hype by the introduction of another female to the home, or does this seem to imply that Butters is more likely a male? (She's DEFINITELY not pregnant, and is refusing good, so this seems to imply she's more likely a male already...)

And: That's funny, but I think it'd be irresponsible of me to attempt a breed all willy-nilly :) I don't know anything about it, and I don't know anyone who would want to buy the childrens.

(I'm also really impressed with how quickly you responded!)

Answer
One way to find out...  Put them together!  Males are more likely to get super active and go off feed.  Finding someone to buy baby corns is NOT hard.  They may not pay you much, but you'll be able to sell them.  I'd recommend The Corn Snake Manual by Kathy Love as a great source of all the info you'll need to get started.
