    Breeding Low muscle female

    Hi guy, I would like finally try breeding this season.

    I have two female that I wish to pair.

    they are both above 2000grams and almost 4 or 5 years old.

    Now the bigger butter pastel female is muscular and firm, she would wrap herself around my neck or arm.

    The one i have concern about is the slight smaller bumblebee of the same age. She has always been more squishy and low in muscle tone. She has never coil around my arms or my neck even when she is small. She would literally plop her lower half whenever i pick her up. If i didn't hold on she would fall…

    She has always been like this and As far as I can tell she is not fat. I can't see the skin between the scale but she has always been the lazier one. I never see her roam in her tub.

    Both went off feed during the summer for me. I figure they were regulating their own weight. They have recently started pounding rats again. The Bumblebee did not lose any squishiness when she was off feed for almost 5 months. Lost a little weight but still very squishy. The butter pastel however firm up during her fast.

    Is it safe to breed the bumblebee? I'm really worry that she will get egg bound, but I don't handle hundreds of snake a day. I'm not sure if I'm just being over anxious.

    they are both keep in the same rack with the same ambient and hot spot setting. I try and feed them the same size meal, I alternative between medium rats and small + rats and feed them on a 10day or more schedule to avoid over feeding


    Can any experience breed chime in?
