Thomas... I have a few of mine breeding as well. Several pairs locked up around Jan 15. and it is freezing outside. we had some pretty cold days her lately.
This is why bonding works well and people don't realize they miss the window for more than one clutch per year. My Floridas will breed again in Spring and then again in mid summer making 3 clutches. a few times I have had them breed as late as November and I get Christmas eggs  .
Bonding takes the guesswork out of breeding and it is safer since you don't have to worry about cannibalism when you introduce an "unkown" mate into a cage.
I hear so many times how people say "they" breed the snakes. Heck the snakes breed themselves and they know when to breed.
I also hear accounts of cannibalism when introducing a male into a females cage for the first time in Spring. They say the one snake is frantically trying to get out of the cage, well duh!
Bonding works but their is a process and I hope anyone reading this understands it is not as simple as putting any age snakes together and they will bond. No! There is a process and it has been discussed here and most just don't grasp or believe it.
