Do what with the who now?
Beautiful and he looks big too! If you want to purchase a female it is up to you. He does not have to be bred and I wouldn't (and neither would many people) recommend housing him with a female. They should only be together to mate and should have seperate enclosures.
What were your ideas regarding this boy?

By all means, breed him if you want to. However, I insist you do a search on cohabitation on this forum. Here's one link which might make you rethink http://cornsnakes.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31192
Also, every 10-14 days is fine for feeding adults.
I agree, my little ones are my 'kids'!

You should also figure out why exactly you want to breed him. He appears to be an attractive classic yes... but not many people want classic cornsnakes unless they are loaded with hets. And even if he is high quality... well, my previous dogs were "high quality" for all that they were mutts (intelligent, beautiful, healthy, gentle by nature), but I didn't breed them together because there are already hundreds of thousands of dogs in this country that need homes. It's the same with corn snakes. Are you prepared to find homes for upwards of 30 babies? Are you going to be able to feed them until they find those homes? What if some of them never find homes? Are you able to have 30 some odd snakes? If you don't keep them, are you just going to wholesale them to a petstore?
My snakes are part of my family too, and while next year I will be breeding for the first time, I have a desired outcome for my breeding plans in the far flung future, I have a couple people who want some snakes, and there are three local and pretty good mom'n'pop petstores near me that would take any non-keepers I can't personally find homes for, and I've seen the owners refuse to sell an animal to an obstinately stupid person in two of those, so I feel relatively comfortable with the thought of my extras ending up there. However, of my 7 snakes, only 3 are potential breeders. I have 2 males (amel, stunning bloodred) and 2 females (snow, gorgeous miami) who are pet only and I will not breed despite them being high quality snakes.... except for the snow. She's my wonderful ugly thing.
So, if you do want to breed, just think it through thoroughly. Spend a couple years researching, figuring out what you want to breed and why.
