>>I think there all close to breeding size now. What do I do. The male is a 03 or 04 kahl double het for snow. I have 2 mean females that came from r and r boas in 2004 jan. The one girl maybe is five feet the other is pushing six feet. I keep them in a boaphile rack and feed them rodentpro large rats weekly. I can't get a weight or exact size on them. I really hope to get a few snows out of them soon since I just wanted a snow back when I bought them. Anyway what do I do to breed them and when do I start? my male is huge about six feet. I would put them together anytime. I keep the warm end of the cage in the 90" and the cool end is in the 80's. Do I stop feeding them? I never bred boas cept by accident. Also my 05 albino male is doing great now.
Well, if the male is around 3-4ft I'd let him have a go at it. Your females ideally should be atleast 6ft. and have good body weight to them. You don't have to have an exact weight, but they should be well fed and thick. Your temps are about where you want them to be. Just keep them in the lower range.
As for breeding them, there are a number of diffrent prefrences as to cycling them and introduction. I haven't ever "cooled" my boas down. The way I was keeping them did allow for a slight natural temp drop during the cooler mouths however. I fed the females as normal, and the males I did feed about half the normal amount for a month before I'd put them in with the female. I got in to the habit of introducing them on Halloween or Thanksgiving Day It usually meant babies from April to July.
This is what I found that worked for me. There are a lot of variables to breeding boas. The best thing to do is gather all the info that you can. Hope this helps. Best of luck at it.
