A continuation to the posts by me, down below.
I mentioned a female corn that I had put a couple different males with and none were interested in (even my male that has bred 3 females so far). She finally mated!! And to top it off, she mated with the snake that I intender her to mate. As a last ditch effort, I had put him with her one last time. I misted her and he immediately tried and succeeded!!!

WooHoo !!

I decided my old sig was too big.

I have been saying that almost daily.

Are you going to settle for a smaller sig? I used to have my animals all listed, but it was crazy. Now I just settle for a quote.

Oh, I got a male goini. Hopefully he will mate my female. That will be a clutch that I had not planned on, but the more the merrier.

I have come to the conclusion that there is no cure for snake addiction!

thanks!
I get to be antsy about another 25 times. Hopefully all of our females (yours and mine) breed right after shed and we dont have to stress on whether they will mate someday or not.
Although, I still have a couple females that shed a while back and I dont think they have mated the designated males. Its frustrating when you dont want to mix and match males around. I want to know the genetics of the snakes that I have, so I dont want to try multiple males. I wont know who's babies are who's.

I wish you the greatest of luck when your female sheds

Corns, Creamsicles, A Black Rat, Thayeri, Cal Kings, A Jungle Corn(Just A Pet), A Bearded dragon, Leopard Geckos, Green Anoles, a Snapping turtle, and a white cheeked mud turtle

Our rescue:
0.1 green iguana about 3 1/2 feet (Spikey)

I also think that the best solution is persistence. I had misted that female about 100 times. lol. But I defenitely notice the males are more interested when the females have been misted.
I think what also helps, is the breaks for the males. Most of my males are mating 2-3 females each. I rotate them between females and give them a break twice a week for feeding (my females get fed twice a week and the males once).
