Hi,
I was just wondering if snakes will participate in sex when they are still immature? (I know some animals do)
I have 2 Stimson's pythons which i believe were mating? (pics)
From what I have read breeding snakes is to do with their weights the "female" is only 175g and the "male" id 162g (I have not got them sexed). This is under weight for her to be breeding and they are both just under 17 months old which is too young from what I have read. I know that all matings will no result in eggs but i am just concerned and would like to be prepared if something happens or for future reference.
Any help will be much appreciated.
