A while ago we bought two three year old corns, both of which we were told were male. One wouldn't eat (even after I tried all the little tricks that work for the rest of the snakes in the house) so my mum took Pumpkin to the vet and it turns out he's a she and she might have eggs, although unfertilized, growing in her. lol, very unexpected news! Now I am wondering if it's too late to breed her? If it isn't, ask risk of sounding a complete n00b, how long do I leave the two in the tank together? Thanks in advance for any replies on this.
 
If she's already developed eggs, she most likely won't breed at this time. When I bred mine I was advised to place the two animals in a seperate large plastic tub after misting it lightly with water. I seperated the two when they were done breeding. I re-introduced them three other times, giving them 4-5 days rest in between.
 
If they really are a breeding pair, and both up for it, it doesn't take long. Overnight is generally long enough with ours, although there's no harm in leaving them together for a few days to make really sure. I wouldn't bother changing the cage - they aren't remotely fussy.
