How big is he? Males are generally fertile at a very young age. I hope it all works out for you. My colubrids have been sketchy this year for some reason. I normally don't worry about corns whatsoever, but they seem more skittish this year, maybe they smell the milk snakes I got this year, and they are thinking, "predator!" and reacting accordingly.
My favorite amel female, Chloe is egg-bound too, she laid 20 eggs on the 7th of March and I can feel more in there, but she isn't passing them. I soaked her in some water today hoping to lubricate her innards, and I will be squirting some glycerin solution up inside her tomorrow, and then it's on to pitocin and possibly aspiration.
My opal female just finished laying a lifetime first clutch of 11 fertile eggs, 14 total, but 3 were 3 obviously infertile.
So, thus far I have:
17 fertile from my Amel-het-snow x Snow
21-24 great looking big clutch from my Ghost x Lavender
11 fertile from my Opal x Lavender.

Of course it's my opinion, I said it, didn't I?
