To Small 2 Make Viable Eggs?

[Akren_905]

This morning when i went into work i turned on all the lights and looked at the 3 larger balls alll in the same tank( ive talked to them about it ), but this morning for the 2 snakes that have shed just the day before they werent moving around as much as they should. After about 20 minutes noticed the normal juvy male was in one corner and the larger normal male (just shed) and the female pastel (also just shed) were in a lock. I freaked out told the reptile manager he was as surprised as me. But we kept talking and we both were worried about her weight and if she will have viable eggs if shes a little under weight, we had a scale in the back but we have to wait to find out how big she is.
Id guess that shes about 34 to max 40 inches long, ive played with her alot shes about 2.25lbs at max like 3.25lbs i know the breeding wieght is 1500g, which makes her between 1000 - 1400. can she make babies or she just going to make slug and the 2 snakes have been all over each other the past 3 days before the lock.

Wait...why do you have 3 snakes in the same tank? Are you trying to breed your snakes?

She may be just fine and she may make some slugs that's hard for us to say.
One lock up is no guarantee she will become gravid but if your not looking to be proud reptile parents and go through everything it will take to hatch eggs I suggest finding a separate home for the female.

I understand they are at a pet store and space is always a value, but I've always felt keeping them together "especially" in a pet store teaches people it's ok to do so at home.

Our local pet store at the mall is always keeping multiple snakes and even multiple species together and they have the skinniest non-feeding snakes one can imagine
