I turned the heat back on my female December 10. Fed her 4 or 5 times. Last night dec 22, fed again and she is going into blue. Could she be ready to breed after only a week and a half?

I'm confused about the dates... last night would be Jan 22... did you mean a MONTH and a half? Four or five feedings in a week and a half sounds like a bit much...
 
I meant January for all the dates. And I just counted and last night was the fourth meal

Wow. An adult corn ate 4 times in 12 days? She was hungry!

If her weight is good after she sheds and poops a lot, put a male in with her you never know!
 
I'd introduce the male to her. The spring shed is not a magic thing, it just gives you and I an indication that it is time. If they show no interest, wait a week and try again.
 
4 feeds in 12 days and going into a shed? Introducing a male sounds like a possible regurge risk. Might be worth considering leaving it until immediately after she sheds? The pheramones are strongest at that point, so you might have more chance of successful hook-up anyway.
 
How do you normally feed? If that is ANYTHING like your normal schedule, then this female stands a chance of being obese. Obese snakes are less likely to produce fertile eggs (if they lay at all) and MUCH, MUCH more likely to have problems passibng eggs. Read that as dystocia and death.

That IS an extreme feeding schedule even if not normal. Back off, let her digest, and then put the male with her as soon as the shed is over. This quick out, don't be surprised if they DO or DO NOT breed right after this shed. They may go after the next shed....or as long as 3 weeks after this shed without a secondary shed first.

this is not her normal feeding. She is definately not over weight. Was just fattening up like normal(with fuzzies) and she went into shed 3 weeks earlier than last year. I usually introduce the male after the shed
