Why won't mine breed?!

I didn't brumate my corns.
I have housed the male/female pair together since before the holidays.
Why haven't I seen them breed? How can I tell if she's pregnant? Am I running out of time here?
They've been together and last year I ended up with a pair breeding in mid-may, a very young pair, but I didn't find the eggs in time.
I really want hatchlings this year!!
Any advice?
She usually keeps her body scrunched up and I am no judge at whether or not she has eggs! :mad: Help!
 
I can't really say why for sure but some need brumation...maybe that's it.

Or she could already be gravid....gently handle her and you should feel some eggs if she is fairly into it.....

If you don't get any eggs this year, I would highly recommend to brumate them next year and to house them seperately. You are more likely to witness actual breeding when the pair is put together for only 24 hours at a time every few days. And once they have bred, it is much less stressful for the female to be kept seperate from the male while she is gravid and during egg laying. If your female is currently gravid, the presence of the male may be really stressing her out right now.
