I recently got in a group of amazon tree boas (1.4). 4 of them were babies from a large female I also got in. They were housed together and are quite small for how old they are.

One female weighed 312g when I got her in and my most recent weight on her was 333g. She even ate a big 40ish gram mouse since this weighing. Anyway, she had babies last night. 3 live and 1 stillborn. All weighed roughly 15g. She is now 205g so I will be looking for babies in the room tonight since it was not sealed of expecting babies.

I had a hunch she might be pregnant, but she just seemed so small.

The only male (aside from emerald tree boas housed with this group) was 172g when it came in.

Anyone ever have amazons reproduce at these low weights? Also, what is the smallest litter of tree boas you have had? I want to know how long I need to look around for babies lol.
