So it's snake breeding season right now, and it is *so* sad/funny some of the posts that are turning up on the Corn Snakes forum I like to hang out on. Tons of people are suddenly freaking out and posting, "My female just laid eggs! I didn't know she was pregnant, what do I do?"
My favorite, I think, is this one person who said she had a male and female snake, but they were siblings so she didn't think they would breed. They did though, and now she's got eggs to deal with.
Um... I really don't think snakes care if they're related. If you have a male and female together (of any sort of animal really) during breeding season, they're gonna mate. It's kind of sad that some people don't realize that.
Heck, this isn't snake related, but it does have to do with animal mating stuff. We've been taking Bonnie and Spider over to our neighbors pasture to eat the last few days, and he has a big gelding (male horse that can't breed). Apparently Bonnie's in heat, because even though Fox can't mate with her, he was getting all excited and they spent the entire afternoon with their heads over the fence flirting with each other. xD
Obviously, animals do not care, no matter the restrictions we might expect them to have.
