BP Female bred by accident, not big enough, what will happen to her?
Hi there,
I have a pastel het pied female ball python that is 745 grams. I also have a male pastel het pied male that is 500 grams. I am running out of room and trying to get some new enclosures set up so I put the male in with the female, figuring that it is the middle of summer, and she is way too small to breed so didn't think it would be a problem. I went to pick up the male to feed him and low and behold he is locked with her! I didn't think she could breed at such a small weight and I am very concerned about her health and what this will do to her. Will she lay eggs? If so is this going to be detrimental to her health? Why would she lock with him if she isn't big enough to have babies? Please, if anybody has any insight please let me know. Thanks so much.
