Hello All, I figured I would also ask some questions....I have a gravid boa, she produced 18 perfect babies and 0 slugs last April, 2005. She is gravid and had her POS on Sept, 18th, 2005...she shed again on Nov. 10th 2005...so as for the actual date it is now in question as well....she passed her waxy stool...the first week in Feb., 2006.

I have been calling some Vets...there are a couple that will do an ultrasound for about $300....they do not want me in with her and they want to admit her to the hospital...I am very much against not being with her..., but my feelings are that after that I will still be right where I am at with her now...

I did feel a slug close to the vent, there may be 2 but that is all I feel that was hard and firm...she is huge and I feel she is way over due...



My question is should I leave her alone, or should I try and manipulate the slug free ?...if that is what is preventing her from giving birth.



She has tried on numerous occassions to have them, only to push everything back up and forget about it and go back to being coiled on the heat.



Any advice is very much welcome...or contact me directly e-mail...
