Potential breeder concern
I'm looking at purchasing a Russo white diamond female... She's a 2010, currently weighs 800 grams. She's never bred, but the seller said she ovulated young last year, and laid a bunch of slugs. Is this something to be concerned about? Were the slugs a result of young age and low weight, or could this be indicative of an issue with the snake? Or could this have potentially done long term damage to her? Debating whether this is a safe investment or not.
Re: Potential breeder concern
Everything you have said would automatically make me personally say no to this purchase. If she ovulated and had slugs it was because she was never bred and therefore there was no sperm to fertilize the eggs.

I think you are mis-reading what he said. As the seller of this White Diamond, I can tell you that she never lost 800 grams, nor did I attempt to breed her that small. I wouldn't do that. She was approximately 1100 grams when she ovulated. That resulted in a big fasting period and about 400 grams of weight loss after laying the slugs. That was a few months ago. Currently she is eating very consistently, weighs over 800 grams and looks quite healthy.

My apologies, re-reading over the OP and your info i see the misunderstanding.
