Small Breeders?

Not that I saw. I left them together overnight and by morning they were on opposite sides of the tub.

Hard to know then. They never lock for a whole day or two like we see with the ball pythons. I've never seen it take more than an hour. Not sure what kind of substrate you have in the tubs, but if you found any yellow "goo" that looks like snot, then they probably bred.

I use printed newspaper. I cleaned out the tub because they both dirtied it up and I hate messy tubs. I don't remember seeing any goo (if it was something out of the ordinary, I probably would have noticed).

However...I ran another "experiment" and put him back with her. He's no longer twitching...at all. Usually he starts right when I put them together.

I know this is a somewhat old thread but, I thought I'd chime in.

Please note: Though we've owned corns for a few years, this is our first year breeding. (But I just have a clutch--my first--hatching out right now, so, eee!) I'm by no means an expert, nor do I want to come off as trying to be one. This is just my experience and what I've learned.

When you're putting pairs together, you don't need to leave them overnight or days like you do with ball pythons. Corn snakes are pretty quick about the whole business. If you haven't seen them stop chasing each other around the tank in the first half hour or forty-five minutes, it's a good idea to separate them, wait a few days, and give it another shot.
