    What Are The Consequences?
    I am curious as to what the consequences would be should two underweight and immature pythins lock up. The reason I ask this is because when I went to a local pet shop last night to get some more rats for my pets, there was alot of excitment around one of the tanks in the store. When I walked over I saw two obviously underweight and immature ball pythons locked up. I wouldn't say either snake weighed more than 500grams, if that.
    I tried to get the owner to get the two apart but she was so excited about witnessing her first "pairing" that she didn't want to hear about the dangers and risks involved in allowing this to happen.
    I'm just curious as to what might happen to these two snakes as well as the eggs if she goes to term and something happens...
    For those watching it was exciting. For me, it was downright scary and gutwrenching. :O

    Egg binding for one thing.

    Keep in mind its stress for the bp and smaller ones might not be able to take it without a toll.

    not to mention the damage that can be done when trying to get them apart next time just let them be when they unlock put them in different enclosures
