Sorry to hear that.

I haven't bred boas successfully yet either (still waiting for my BCC female to drop if she took) - but from what I've read by multiple large breeders, a 'cooling' period isn't necessary with boas, and that some feel cooling boas before breeding may result in more slugs. Maybe this could be the issue? I know cooling was a common practice for many people for a long time.

Must be very disappointing, but each individual boa is different, just like some people have problems having children, while others have them easily.
