Save up whatever you can $50-$100 a month right now. Then late spring to early summer when litters are born you'll have a lot to choose from.

I'm not trying to discourage you if you really want to breed, I was just under the impression that you may not have been considering all the expenses.

Some breeders will leave babies together until their first shed. Others, like myself, remove them to their own bins right away.

More than one person has come to find a baby boa eaten by a cagemate. They must be kept separately. It will also be near impossible to keep accurate records on them if you had even two together, much less an entire litter. Tracking the babies metabolisms and sheds are important as you get them established.
