How many times have you heard of a Ball python getting eggbound? People worry about breeding small females because they think the snake will get eggbound, but from what I've heard I've never really even heard of a Ball python getting eggbound. A large female can even get eggbound, but since I haven't really heard of any eggbound-stories, I think it's rare for a Ball python to become eggbound. If you breed a small female your going to get small eggs and a small clutch, with the chance of getting eggbound (any snake no matter what size has the chance of becoming eggbound). Ball pythons in the wild will breed no matter how much they weigh, so there is no recommended gram for them like we have when we try breeding. This topic is a little confusing for me, so what I stated above is just my opinion.
