No problems at all :).

Re: Big female...little male
Here is my boy Aldo working hard for the $ last year. She walked all over him(literally) but no harm done.

Re: Big female...little male
Wow thanks everyone for all the pics of smaller males doing the deed with the big girls. I does make me feel a lot better to know it's not as risky as I was worried it might be and that these smaller males seem to be able to figure out which way is up (so to speak LOL).
Oh and about his name.....Riordan is a celtic name and means "royal poet". All of our ball pythons have either celtic or gaelic names. Makes for a LOT of fun trying to remember how to spell and properly pronounce every snake's name. We try to pick something in the meaning of their names that either describes the snake's look or temperment or is a tribute to someone we know (as in Cara whose name means "friend" as she was a gift from my dear friend, Robin or Saoirse whose name means "freedom and liberty" to honor her being a wild caught adult). :)

She is an 03, and it was only a 5lb. scale. I would guess in the 2400 gram range. Still nothing compared to some of the females you see, including Joanna's girl she was asking about here. I will say that I bought a new scale (10 lb.) for this year though :D .

Re: Big female...little male
The celtic and gaelic name thing...that's cool!!! I've ended up (unintentionally actually, lol) naming all of mine after characters or elements from media; movies or games. Matika-the tarantula from Jungle 2 Jungle, Basilica-the necromonger warship from Chronicles of Rid****, and Chocobo-the name of a bird species from the Final Fantasy series (he's a pastel and lots of chocobos are bright yellow so..). I think I'm gonna have to make it a theme.
What other names have you used for yours?
