Hi Nicole,

Her shed could have been her post-ovulation shed, but remember that just because they bred does not necessarily mean she will become pregnant. For some of the heavy bodied sand boas like Kenyans, it is often difficult to positively determine if a female is pregnant. Some signs to look for other than a swollen posterior are more time basking on the hot spot and refusing to feed. For temperature, the hot spot should be 95-100 degrees. Good luck


>>This is my first time breeding sandboas...I have seen them doing there thing for about a months..Do they still eat even when they are breeding...I saw the male on the female for about 2-3 weeks then he stoped..She had to shed ..now i have found him on her a couple of time turning the morning hour..When do i know that she is defently gravid?What temperture should i keep her cage at..
