Breeding boas isn't an "exact science". There's no gaurantee as to "how many" you'll get. You won't know how many until they're born. There's a possibility of slugs, stillborn, deformed, preemies, live babies, infertile ova retention, premature droping of an entire litter, and females dying while pregnant. Breeding boas can be rewarding, but it's not without risk.


Just make sure your boas, especially your female, are in top shape before breeding. Give them all they need and let them do the rest. The "how many" will have to be a surprise. Hopefully it will be a great one.

Good Luck, I hope you have a nice litter.
