I have a female albino that I am positive she is gravid. Her POS was 52 days ago and I have been feeding her smaller meals once a week for about 46 days now. The courting and copulating appeard to be normal. The problem is that she has not taken a dump since I started feeding her 46 days ago. Is this normal for gravid female boas? Do they dump not as often as if they were not gravid? Or is it possible that she is constipated? Any input would be highly apriciated.

i wouldnt feed it every week. i feed my gravid boas a small meal once a month or so. i have noticed with mine that they dont poop often but 46 days seems long. soke it for a half hor and see what happens

Let's not soak the gravid female this may cause her to drop the babies permature on you. If you are feeding your girl small meals this normal. I would only feed this girl once a month and the last nothing at all. With gravid boas they seem to use up all of the protein from the rats. This seems to work for my girls.
