Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the proper section for my situation. Sorry if it's not. So back in may I bought a group of balls from a very reputable breeder and had some very specific plans for each morph, obviously relying completely on what was male and what was female for offspring outcome, and I found out today that one that was sold to me as a male is actually a female. This clearly alters my breeding plans, which is very annoying, but something I am concerned about even more is the fact that my 800 gram male was locked up with this 800 gram surprise female.

This happened because I had the two "males" in a tub with a 1700 gram female at the same time, and when I got home from work today to check on them, the two "males" were 100% locked up. Absolutely no question about the lock either. So I kind of disturbed them so they would "unlock", which they did after a couple of minutes. And then I immediately removed her, sexed them both and was able to 100% verify that "he" is a she. It being that I am new to breeding, what I'm wondering about is the possible consequences of this very undersized female being bred? Is it possible for such a small female to even be fertilized? and if so, what happens if she produces? will it kill her? What exactly am I looking at dealing with here?

And lastly, what should I do about the fact that she was sold to me as a male? Is this a common occurrence and one that I just need to say "oh well this kind of thing happens"? Or should I contact the breeder for some kind of resolution? Any advice from more experienced keepers/breeders would be very much appreciated. Thanks for the help.
