My First Cornsnake Breeding 2016 Okeetees

So these were suppose to be two females. A female extreme okeetee named Houdini (always escaping and reappearing in odd places) and a "female" reverse okeetee named Nerium (scientific for the Oleander flower). I put them together to make space for two more new large containers 27 quart containers tomorrow. I was continuing to put sanichips into other snakes cages and began hearing lots of noise coming from the cage theyre in. So I took a look catching "Nerium" relentlessly harassing my poor Houdini. I chose to put them together thinking theyre both girls because both are very mellow friendly snakes. When I saw "Neriums" behavior I was like camera now and sent a video asking friend and owner of House Of Slithering what the hell was going on. So before he replied I saw the locking up attempts and reliezed Nerium is a boy and is now called Oleander. Oleander was pestering Houdini for a couple minutes before this video. He is very rough which frightened her. She has been cohabbed with snakes before and has never had this type of reaction to another snake. I was at first worried it was territorial or a mistake of the thought of food but nope they were just doing the dirty. My reasoning for concern was due to me not witnessing such aggressive sexaul attempts. I have seen corn snakes mating before but none have ever behaved as rough. They stayed locked up for a bit after I turned off the camera had many other things to do and I needed to get back to those.
So this will be my first breeding pair. While not intentional I am ok with it. I had another pair of okeetee I had wanted to pair up but the male has no interest in that female. So either way I am getting my okeetees haha.
