    The problem you would likely run into is having your male lose a lot of weight. Many breeding males won't eat while breeding. If you breed them small this can be a problem. Then if you have one who is a very willing breeder and you don't allow him enough separation time to get him eating again you can also run into the problem of prolapse. Over breeding a single male that is the type to lock and stay locked for extended periods is more prone to prolapsed hemipenes.

    Always make sure you give your males enough time off to get them eating if they go off feed during the season, and keep an eye on their vent area if they are very prolific.
