    This snake was way too young to breed. I'm sorry but that isn't even close to two years old! I've never even heard of anyone breeding a female that young.
    She hadn't even been paired up yet when she started growing those follicles, so I believe that my pairing her up for the first time a few days ago is just a coincidence and is not really relevant.

    And just because you "never even heard of anyone breeding a female that young" doesn't exactly mean squat. I've seen many people state that they do just that right here on this forum. And I know of a few that have paired them up at right around a year old and not even 1200 grams. There is more than one way to skin a cat, and whatever guidelines you pulled your "omg she's not even two years old!" line from is just that. A guideline. Deviations can and do occur. I bet you'd be shocked and amazed at some of the things that go on behind a few of the bigger breeders' doors.
