I once had two corn snakes around that size that I put in a same container while cleaning cages. They were unrelated, lived separately, and they tried to breed when put together (I say tried because I separated them--no desire for more eggs at the time). I was impressed and amazed, for sure. But seeing that that was their first introduction, they clearly weren't--as you would say-- "bonded". So while a female may ovulate and be receptive at that size (could have been from pheromones in the air?), why would you believe this is due to bonding?
