First.....There are no guarantees in boa breeding!

You probably are not doing anything wrong, except worrying too much. LOL

Sometimes they just won't go! Sometimes it just takes months of having a male court them.

We have one female, that this is her 3rd or 4th year with a male. She has been actively courted every year. She has yet to produce any babies. Last year she appeared to have some preovulation swelling and then slowly deflated. I assume she reabsorbed. This year the male has been all over her for months now, and still nothing. I still have my fingers crossed though.

How long have you had the temps low? Is the male still actively courting? Are you, or have you fed them? How long have they been together?

Best of luck!

Kathy
