i set up two pairs in two cages in late dec. (my group is 3.4) although i saw courting in both pairings the bigger but younger (4yr old) female did not become gravid. this female is 7-8 yrs old and this is her first litter. the male courted her constantly til march 29th, i did add 2 differnt males for a 3-5 day period in early march. i did not notice any aggressive combat per se, but did see the both males on her. i never saw copulation from any of the males. i love this species, heavy bodied, short(er) than some boas, great feeders and nice personalities, i have never had one hiss and strike (ok when they are babies they do, but they calm down soon enough). i have been told they are more "delicate" but i just keep them as i do any of my non-arboreal snakes (dumerils, nics, colombians, hogs, BP's). i will get individual pics of them as soon as they shed. thanks for looking, john yocum ZOO-OTICS
