>>Anyone have any advice on how to breed 1 male boa to 2 females?

>>

>>Throw them all in together or what?

>>

>>Thanks.



Simply from my experience only.. best breeding results with Boa c. ssp. are acheived with a 1-to-1 ratio. Start early selecting potential pairs and maintain them in similar conditions (light, temperatures, feeding) during their developmental years.

.

If you have more females than males you may be able to stagger the ovulation cycle with feeding and so-on.. my recommendation s to keep it as close to 1.1 as possible.

.

Hope that helps..
