    Because they are ready does not mean they will breed so keep that in mind so time they need more time or a different partner. Also because you do not see it happen do not mean it didn't (you don't always witness locks with every animals.)

    The things you can try are as followed.

    Pair during storm front, rain, cold days etc.

    Use another male, sometimes some females are just not receptive to certain males.

    Use the shed and/or bedding from another female

    Do 1.2 when pairing, put another female in the tub when pairing this female.

    Have you observe any positive signs from your female?

    Let's start by asking how big and how old your snakes are.

    I thought that's just what all the males wanted to get in the mood?
    Kidding.
