My females are getting ready to lay soon but I have one that still hasn't bred, she just doesn't want to know. I've tried her with different males and tried putting another female and a male with her then removed the extra female before the male did anything as I read that this can make the male a little keener. She doesn't run away from the males she just ignores them, they follow her and show a little interest but make no real effort to breed. She had her post-brumation shed 4 weeks ago.
Any ideas as to why or any tricks that might help?
 
I had one female this year who wanted no part of any male until after her 2nd post brumation shed. So don't give up on her, give her some time.
 
A couple of Ideas

As mentioned, don't give up, some females take longer then others. Have you tried misting them with warm water yet. My snakes love it. As soon as I put them together I mist both of them with warm water.

Also, if you have multiple males, wait until one of the males you were not planning to breed with her sheds. Place his shed skin into your females enclosure a day or so before you place the male you want to breed with her in. This sometimes will stmulate the female and it will get your male going.

Good Luck!
