Has anyone left their male with their female so long that she had babies with the male in the cage? what's the worst that could happen in that situation? No reason, just curious.

I would say 99.9% of us don't leave the male in the cage that long. I did have a litter eons ago where I kept three boas together in one large 12'X4' cage! It had multiple hot spots, and I never really knew they were breeding, at least it wasn't intentional. The female had the babies on one side of the cage on one of the hot spots! The other two boas stayed away from the female and showed no attention to the event that had taken place. Upon finding the litter I let my parents know what had happened, I was 16 at the time. I wish I had a photo of my Dads face when he walked into the room!The terror of more snakes in his house!!! Ended up being 52 babies my largest litter ever! The parents were wild caught imports that I had gotten at a show. I ended up selling the babies through a local pet shop and the rest was history.
Long story for a one question!!!
