...it was not planned!
I need a bit of advice.
A bit of background first. I have 7 ball pythons (1.6) most of which I've been raising since they were hatchlings. I keep them in a TGR rack that holds 5 FB70 tubs. Two of these tubs have dividers in them, so the rack holds 7 snakes. Three of my females are about 1400-1700 grams and those 3 are in undivided tubs. Two females are 800 grams or so, and are in one tub with a divider between them. The last divided tub holds my 750 gram male on one half, and my 1000 gram female on the other.
I wasn't planning to breed the 3 smaller females this year because I doubted they would get to a large enough size. This evening I got a huge surprise when I pulled out the tub with my male in it. He had somehow bent the divider and was locked with the female! Besides the obvious (that my divider sucks and I need a second rack) I need some advice on this.
The female eats well, but I'm concerned about her getting eggbound. Should I continue with the breeding and get her up to size? Any help would be awesome!
