8) Ok, going through all the questions, I've been able to come up with some of my own..

Anyone with some breeding experience, have you ever noticed whether or not boa's are pretty "clean" about their breeding? I've got this little stud of a boa, that's been putting the moves on a big female I have thats got to have a good 30 pounds in weight, and 5 feet in length on him... I've never seen the actual 'slipping of the steak'. cwm24.gif but Ive noticed what seems to be some 'aftermath' left behind.. ;D Im wondering if this is something I can go on...

I've also noticed that he's not paying attention to her anymore.. So in reading what Ive just wrote, Im thinking he did his thing, but the thing that stumps me is, he only courted her 3, maybe 4 weeks, if that... this is his first time courting, she's been through it before but has never been gravid..

Here's where it gets good.. after about a week and a half of him not paying attention to her, her eyes start clouding up... I also just fed her a rabbit though.. so it could easily go either way.. what are ya'll's 2 cents worth? ??? Im thinking time's the only thing thats going to resolve this...which is the second to last thing I want to hear.. cwm11.gif

I think you might have a knocked up boa. After that shed, count 105 days and see if she gives birth then. :-)

8)That would be pretty cool..

I've noticed that the male that was doing his thing moved on to a smaller boa and is starting to "court" her now so maybe he did his thing with the first one...
