Default Corn question

I bought a corn and was told it was a proven female so i put her with my other corn which i bought from a shop and was told it was being sold as unsexed but presumed male anyway i put them together and there was a lot of jurking and chasing about but that seems to be all does this mean i have 2 male or to females or there just not intersted.

Thanks in advance

The recognised age is about 3. It will happen earlier than that. I'f they're younger than three separate them instantly as you don;t want a female getting preggers at that age. I'd separate them until you get them checked TBH

rule is 3 yrs 3 ft long and 300g minimun for corn females, males can be a bit smaller, but not too small.

Also its a good idea to quarinteen any new snake for a few months incase of mites or other problems that can occur.

As for is you have a mating pair i guess only time will tell, you will have to keep an eye on them and see what they get up to. But please make sure your female is big enough and healthy enough to be mated, if your willing to not guarinteen her.
