Okay folks, I know it's done all the time and I know I've seen pictures of it - but I'm scared witless to put our 06 YB male in with our biggest female. Riordan is a smaller male, only about 800 grams and Brannagh's at 3,400 grams. I know it will likely be okay but I seriously have nightmares about her smooshing him flat or eating him or something equally awful.

So I guess all I really need is some reassurances, pictures, whatever so I can put this down to newbie breeder nerves. Were any of you worried like this about little males and really big females? Am I just being silly? How in the world will Riordan manage to breed her? I have visuals of this poor little guy facing her big butt going "oh good lord where do I start!!!" LOL

Would it be smarter to start him off first with one of the smaller females so he gets some experience first? Dori, Kyna and Orlah are all a good size but none are anywhere near as large as big Brann. Only Orlah has ever bred and produced eggs if that matters at all.
