So when he bought her she was old enough or big enough that the original owner may have co-habbed her with one or more males, maybe thinking it was OK,Originally Posted by Reposado
maybe just to see what happens or thinking all were the same gender, or not knowing it wasn't a good idea to house together? One way or another, a male got
the job done, but her body wasn't ready yet, until now. Heck of a surprise, eh?FYI, I had a corn snake many years ago that laid good eggs for FIVE years total
after one mating...The downside is that snakes that reproduce when they're still too young & growing may have a shortened life, as breeding takes quite the
toll on their body, especially immature snakes. If you like what she has produced (lol) you'd probably be wise to hold-back at least one offspring, and don't let it
breed so young. The snakes I've bred have never been under 4 years old (not BPs, but same idea).
