Ummm... the male be coiling about the female in an attempt to breed. Females usually become receptive after their first shed post-brumation/beginning of breeding season. Also, some corns will breed without being brumated/cooled due to receptors they pick up naturally, like day length changes and probably minute temp changes indoors we do not find as perceptible. So, the male may be waiting for the female to shed, release her phermones from her freshly shed skin, and give him indicators she is ovulating and ready to breed. If the male rubs himself over her back and both move spastically, could be breeding!! The male will entwine his tail with the females and insert one of his hemipenes in the females cloaca to fertilize. It can happen at any time and if they are housed together, you may not see them doing it. Keep an eye on the female. If she shows signs of being gravid in a few weeks, you will have to provide a nesting box.
