In this pic she looks different than she did this morning. She looks like she has gotten bigger again. Check her out. Also has anyone else heard about "false pregnancy"? Also am I correct in assuming that if she fails to drop babies and continues to feed she is going to be ok. Or if she fails to drop babies according to her last shed that was in January which would put parturition on approximately April 15, do I then take her to a vet? Or do I take her to my vet ASAP to see what is going on?
I hope all that made sense. Anyways here she is as of tonight.
Thanks for listening to my ramblings and concerns.

I have a big old columbian that has looked gravid for the last year.  But she isn't as far as I know.

As for yours, you could always take her in for an ultra sound to find out what is going on.  I've also heard of boas going over 150 days after POS.  So your in the worst part of breeding, and that is waiting and having patients

Thank you. I guess patience has never been my strong suit. I am slowly learning. Ill get used to it. I think this girl is gravid also. I have been trying her for two years now.

The second one must be. She looks huge! As for the first one; does the male show any interest in her?

I have put three different males in with her to see if they would show any interest. All they did was go curl up in the courner of the cage. I have done that about three or four different times just to see if they would mess with her. It was mainly this reason that I believed that she was gravid. But I am beginning to think she is not. It just does not explain her swelling up so much without eating for three months except three or four medium rats. Maybe Im just going to get a snake or two out of her, that would not be unheard of. Either way I just want her to be healthy. It would almost be better if she did not take, I have a male hypo '02 coming from Rich Ihle that I would love to breed her to this coming year, provided she puts a little weight on and makes it through this ordea.
