No, worst case scenerio is that a to small female produces eggs, depletes her body and doesn't recover and dies. This I have witnessed personally. Also, egg binding does not just result from no male being present, but very often from the female being to small (ie. not enough sufficient nutrional stores to produce offspring) This has been documented with various species of snakes. That is why I asked the weight. A 22" snake can weight 100g or 300g. Length at that point is irrelevant, it is about body mass. Pictures can also be very misleading as to the size of an animal because of the way they "puff" up their bodies. So I 100% stand by my question of how much the animal weighs before I would answer the original poster.



I do not question your knowledge in breeding snakes, just your quick answer without any facts about the animal in question other than general length and a possible pic.
