very much for the help.
I am in northern MN, quite close to Canada. I did try to go with the seasons here... hopefully it worked!!
I have never bred boas, only corn snakes (which you have bred some nice ones!) so I am not sure quite what to expect. I have read and studied a lot about breeding boas, especially Jeff Ronne's article, and many parts seem like she may be gravid. However, she does not look especially fat, but has not been eating much and is no smaller than she was months ago. With what I have read it seemed like she may have been ovulating at the end of May and beginning of June, but I'm not sure. IF she was, I have calculated a due date of Sept. 26. I got this from Ronne's article...the POS occurred 14 days after ovulation, which, according to him, is in the ballpark.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I really appreciate it.
She was eating colossal rats and small rabbits, so do you think I could feed her now...large rats? Or smaller yet, medium rats or small rats?

Thanks again!
Take care,
Nicole
