Post Ovulation Shed Cycle?????

[Craig_T]

The albino boa in this pic was bred for several months by two different males. A DH Sunglow and then a DH Snow. I witnessed definate copulation many times and she did swell up, although not amazingly. The male that was with her lost interest in her and was removed after about 4 days of inactivity. She looked like she went into shed but it can be hard to tell with albinos. She has not shed and it has been over 3 weeks now and appears to have gotten slightly smaller. I tried putting males back in with her to be sure the job was done but they didnt go near her. Any idea's? How long can a PO shed last before they shed?

Sometimes it takes longer. I have had it take 28 days to shed they went into a definite shed cycle from the date of ovulation. A few have not even gone into the shed cycle and not shed till after they gave birth. Go figure. I read them the recipe but they don't always listen...

Well thanks Jeff, thats encouraging to hear at least. I guess there isnt much I can do about it at this point. Would you continue to keep a male in with her just in case?
