Many people don't cool boa constrictor subspecies when breeding them. Some do have luck cooling a few degrees, but others have luck at warmer temps, too. But the big breeders normally don't cool.

Anyway, first thing is to stop feeding the male for about a month... feed the female one last time and then wait a week or two to allow her to completely digest. Then you can introduce them.

The breeding techniques aren't different than for other BCI and BCC ... read some of the many other threads here. It's not an exact science.

And, I think you're right - Nicaraguans are considered a smaller subspecies of BCI, so "dwarf Nicaraguan" might be redundant, unless these are from a line that someone bred to produce particularly small nics.
