A friend of mine had paired up a pair of guyanan boas for breeding the female is around 8 foot and the male around 6 foot they have been together on and off for a few months , both where last fed a month or so ago , there has been plenty of couting action between them , my friend went away for the weekend and when she came back home found out the female had eaten the male , to say this was a total shock doent even come close

any help and information will be greatly received , a few quiestions i would like to ask though is

a : how common is this ?
b : who has experienced this happening to them ?
c : if this has happened to you , have you bred the female in subsiquent years with other males and have there been any problems then ?

My friend is really paronoid now that this will happen again as she will be breeding her albino and sunglow in the next year or so and you can see that this has put her off the idea , so im trying to find out what i can on the subject and also to try and put her mind at rest

please help out if you can

Kev
