hi, i've read here that bitsy have been breeding her corn for years without brumation, i live in a tropical country so i can't brumate my corn, i have a 600+grams female & a 400+grams male, i put them together this january & observe them, i can see the male courting the female but my female corn is not receptive, she'll try to run away every time the male try to position his cloaca to her,what should i do? pls help, i really want to breed them,thanks in advance :)
 
I know I'm not Bitsy, but I will try to help a bit.

It sounds like she is not receptive, yet. Or just like you and I, with our mates, some times snakes need to be compatible. She may not like him. I would suggest you wait a little, maybe right after her next shed and try again. That may help.

Good Luck

No Problem! I'm learning about this whole breeding without brumating thing, too. So your question is a good one. I just know that females will sometimes not breed, until their ready. A good time to try is right after she sheds. I would keep trying, but give her a little rest first.

It may take quite a few tries so be patient. You can try putting them together after the female sheds, mist the cage before placing them together, and then keep them together until its time for their next meal. Either they eventually mate or they don't this year, but don't let that discourage you:)
 
January might be a bit early for them. I've never brumated mine and they're not interested in each other 'till mid february. Then it's impossible to get them apart!
 
Thank you for the vote of confidence, but I think other folks have answered your question! Sounds like the female just isn't ready yet and it's just a case of repeatedly trying (without causing stress) until she is.

Also, putting them together immediately after the female sheds is a good idea. That's the time at which she gives off the most pheramones to help get the male "in the mood".

I don't believe that the female's lack of receptiveness is directly linked to lack of brumation. It's just that if they are brumated, it becomes easier to anticipate when the female WILL be ready.
