You should NEVER have tried to breed a female that is 700g. 1500g and up. Remove the male.

I read that....I didn't say anything good nor bad towards you...I just said it's too late...she either will or will not "take"....if not...good...if she drops...you might get 1 to 6 eggs from smaller to extra small....small eggs have small babies, which may or may not eat well?....
...and yes, I know a guy that bred more than one 800 gram ball female and got eggs....

How old is she??? That would play a big part.... If she's 4 yrs old and just isn't a big eater, I'd say put'em together... She's obviosouly receptive.... And your 08 male seems to be getting the job done... But know that because of her size she could become eggbound. I've never heard of it happening just alot of people saying they heard so and so say it happened to them.... So if you feel your experienced enough to take the chance go for it... I'm breeding a 1000g girls this season.... She's got follicles so I introduced a male... They are going at it right now... Good luck with whatever you decide.... But I would err on the side of caution....

I would not pull them apart for fear of hurting one of them. But I'd keep a close eye on them, and remover her ASAP as soon as they let go of each other. It's a risky situation -- I think if a 730gram female became gravid, laying the eggs would most certainly kill her IMO,

do not pull them apart. the hemipenes have inward grasping hooks... you could rip something on either the male or female and cause an infection.
i'm surprised she locked up. are you sure you have her weight correct?
