Hi everyone,
My boa gave birth last night. She had 14 slugs and 4 premature babies when I first noticed she was giving birth. At that point she was still having contractions and it seemed like she still needed to "pass" more. She never did and the contractions have seemed to stop. Do I need to take her to the vet for X-rays to make sure she passed them all or is there a good chance she was just finished have them? Any advise is apperciated.
Thanks,
Linda :)

Well,
I couldn't handle not knowing for sure if she was all right. I took her to the vet. He did an exam and he felt she had passed everything she had in her. I guess I worry too much, because I insisted he do an X-ray. You know what? He was right! She didn't have a single baby or infertle ova left in her. I guess I should have believed him and saved myself the cost of the X-ray. LOL. Anyway I do feel better for having taken her in.
