Too small to breed?

So I have an amazing deep red anaconda hognose male who is 55 grams after brumination but is also three years old. He eats like there is NO tomorrow. I don't know why he's still so small, I'm guessing he's just always going to be on the smaller side. My female is just shy of 275 grams....she is so much bigger than him that I literally worry about her eating him. Is this really a concern? Since bringing them out of brumination (I brought him out earlier so I could get him feeding again) he is just cruising around, very active, constantly tasting the air, she is in the tub below him and I get the sense that he knows there is a female down there. But I don't know if she's too much woman for him.

Thoughts?

I have a smaller male that I paired with a bigger female. I would watch them for the first few minutes together. If she is ready I wouldn't be concerned.
 
I actually just rechecked, and realized that she's 350 not 275 (not sure where I got the 275...must have dreamed it). She's proven from last year.

So no worries on hognose eating hognose. ;)
 
I put male hoggies in with females 5 times their size. Hogs aren't known for being cannibalistic, I wouldn't worry about it at all :)
 
So I put my boy in with my gal and I think it's love! Heehee.

The female put her head up in the air and then started this kind of 'thumping' with her whole body. Meanwhile he was just rubbing all over her.

Right now he's got his head wrapped around her neck and he's laying on her back completely. Although he's really going to have to slide down if he's going to actually accomplish anything. ;)
 
I'm sure he will be able to figure it out. I have a small albino conda I thought would never figure it out when I paired him with my big female. Checked on them later and they were locked together.
