I put the snakes together once a week after bringing them out of brumation in late winter. If they show no interest in 15-30 minutes, I separate them and try again a week later.
Once they begin breeding, I put them together every three days. They mate, generally as quickly as a minute or two after greeting each other to maybe 15-30 minutes later. After they are done mating, I feed the male in his own feeding container, if it is his day to be fed (about every nine days during breeding season, to coincide with his breeding schedule) and then put him back in his own viv. I let the female rest in the breeding bin (an empty bin in the rack, with no aspen or newspaper or anything) for an hour or two, then feed her in her feeding bin and return her to her own viv. I feed females about every six or nine days, depending on their weight gain goals before they become gravid.

We had a VERY experienced breeder here lose two males last year that were being cohabbed for breeding season. One was _eaten_, the other was just found dead in the female's viv.
In my opinion, you can't be _certain_ that the snakes aren't going to harm each other unless you are looking right at them.

I have 48 snakes, including three kings and a rosy boa. The rest are cornsnakes. Plus 17 babies and 30 eggs. Some of the cornsnakes are on breeding loan.
I like bloodred and lavender and stripe, so most of my snakes have one or the other of those genes. In addition, I like the Miamis, Keys, Tesseras, Terrazzos and have representatives of those, too!

This was my first year breeding, & I used one male with two females (the male was a breeder loan).
I paired the male with female 1 every Monday, for a couple days, then with female 2 every Wednesday for a couple days, & then fed everyone on the weekends. I never saw one hookup, or even signs of interest, but I have two beautiful clutches to show for it.

I have the snakes divided into groups so the same bunch get fed together on a certain scheduled day. That way I am only feeding maybe 15 on the very worst day. I have four clutches in the incubator, one of which is due to hatch any day. The rest will hatch between the end of August and the end of September, hopefully!
