Thanks for the help. I should have clarified that I'm not a snake breeder I'm just a snake owner whose snakes have now mated after 8 years of living together. I didn't even plan on owning two pythons but I took in the female as a rescue from a very bad situation.

The two pythons live in a very large custom built enclosure that is 8'x4' and is split into two areas 4'x4' each. one area is 4' tall and has a hanging basket and other "toys" and the other area is 2' tall and is a "bedroom" type area with an aquarium on its side and a nice box and heating elements.

I don't think the female is bothered by the male since they've lived together for so long. Watching them together I can't see that he is pestering her.

My main concern is just for the stray egg which I would like to save if possible. I tried setting it on top of the other eggs but it rolled off at some point last night. However, its looks like its in a better spot now so that when she goes to get water next time she might gather it back in with the others as she coils back up.
