So I am very read up on the subject of breeding ball pythons and decided it was time to dive into it. I have two years experience in husbandry and keeping of ball pythons and boas and am comfortable in taking care of them. How ever about 6 hours ago I introduced my 600g male pastel to my 2000g female normal and just a moment ago I checked up on them only to find trace amounts of blood, urine, and white feces trailed through the enclosure (using paper towels as substrate because it is cheap and easy to change regularly and also easy to notice occurrences like this). I'm assuming this is uncommon and I removed them immediately (at this point there has not been an observed lock). What should I do? Maybe she was too much snake for my much smaller virgin male?

Please do not hound me if I have done something irrational as I have been reading and preparing for breeding for well over a year now. I have done everything in the snakes best interest and am eager to learn more and accept any advice offered.

Thanks to all who read and comment!
