well you can either probe them or pop them and their are videos on how to do each online, that said it can be very difficult and dangerous to the snake if done incorrectly. If you took them to a show then someone there would probably be able to sex them for you. As far as could they mate, if they are a male and female then yes they can, but that doesn't mean you should. Rat snakes and Corn snakes are very similiar both being Elaphe, and the corn is even sometimes called the Red Rat snake. That said though, I believe technically theyw ould be considered a hybrid and that is a whole seperate question as to the views on this. Personally I wouldn't house your snakes together because they can fight, be subject to illnesses and bacterias, and even be scared or stressed. Certainly make sure that you feed them seperately if you do continue to house them together.
