Well we all know that male BPs can breed at a very young age and small size. But I wonder how small a male (Honduran in my case) milk snake can breed safely. This will be the second winter for mine but a few are still a little on the small side because the last owners were just maintenance feeding, every week or 2. For instance, will a 3.5 foot male be alright with a 5+ foot female? Will this size difference increase the chance of cannibalism or failed breeding (granted they will be cooled)?
