Females can and do breed very small. As long as they are hydrated, fed and have a nest spot they like, then there is usually no problem at all. When there is something not right, and a small female delays laying, then it can be a problem.
FR is correct. If we can provide what the females want in terms of food (easy), hydration (should be easy) and nest choice (most of us don't know this one), then breeding at small sizes in captivity would not be a risk to the females.
With kingsnakes, the size and depth of the nest makes a difference, as I have learned by doing. I don't know about hogs.
