You generally need a shed from both the male and the female in order to trigger breeding.

If both snakes have shed, I'd leave them together for three days and then seperate them for 2 or 3 days. I'd continue this cycle until the female is obviously gravid.

Corn snakes do not always instantly mate when you put them together (even if they're both ready). They also don't always mate when a person is watching. I've seen corns hooked up very late at night and very early in the morning.
