Help ball pythons breeding by accidident

I was not thinking when i was cleaning my snakes tubs out when i put my snakes in a tub together while i cleaned i came back and they where locked together
help me female is only 1100 grams and is only 2 years old will she die from this one lock i dont want her to die

I doubt she will die. Just don.t pull them apart. Let them finish and separate them. She might not even "take" from one lock.

This is the reason I have spare tubs to put snakes in when cleaning lol.
Shes not too small to breed there have been people who have bred at Lower weights, she's a good indicator of she's ready to breed, just monitor her. I'm sure she will be fine, if she lays congrats you got eggs they could even be infertile.

No breeding experience personally, someone correct me if I'm wrong. While her age and weight is not ideal for breeding, it probably won't kill her. Agreed, don't pull them apart, and keep feeding.

I did the same dumb thing, but the female and male were only a year old and about 500 grams, maybe a little more, I just remember they were small. I was really mad at myself and couldn't believe the locked in 15 minutes. Your snake will not die, but she could potentially become gravid, so be ready just in case. It never hurts to be prepared, especially if you have the slightly reason to be prepared.

can i breed her this season? i was going to wait till next year but because she might already have eggs can i start early i can get everything for the hatchling and make chondro mans incubator because i have people already wanting to purchase the spiders next year? so they can have them this year

I wouldn't purposely attempt to breed her until she's at least 1500g. I would try to ensure that this was her only lock until she gets to be ideal breeding weight. Then you can think about pairing her again. If she doesn't become gravid, great! You've dodge a potential bullet. If she does, hopefully she won't have any issues laying for you.

My grandma had 5 kids before her 22nd bday and my mom has 5 as well... We never said it either but fortunately for OP, our snakeys work a bit different :D:D
