Hey Dylan. I wouldn't be too concerned just yet. BUT, and this has been mentioned, are you absolutely certain you have a pair? Even the "experts" can mess it up sometimes.



How old/big are your animals? My boas showed absolutely no interest when they were 3, but the next season, they were definitely ready.



Ok, assuming you definitely have a mature pair, try separating them again but for another month at least. Drop the temps so the NTL's go down in the lower 70's and keep the DTH's around 80-82. Limit the lighting to about 10 hours a day too. Ideally, try to introduce the male again in another month or so, but if you can do it right after she sheds, it may up your chances of stimulating him to start courting her. When you do introduce them, slowly bring the temps back up and mist them heavily. Then, just leave them together for the next few months and keep your fingers crossed!



Good luck!

Billy
