I really hope he's done his job and she's gravid. She's AMAZING and I'd love to see her give you a litter.



Unfortunately.....



I don't see anything in the pictures you posted to indicate he's "courting". In the first two pictures he's very relaxed. Almost looks like he's sleeping. His body is simply draped over her body, his skin is very loose and relaxed and he's just "there". Then in the next picture, she's on top of him. Sort of like she doesn't care if he's there or not.



When a male is courting a female, they're any thing but relaxed. The male's body is zig zagged across the female. His head is pointed in a downward/dominant manner. His body is firm and tensed. He gently squeeses or jerks from time to time. When a male boa is actually courting..... That guy is in "total control".



Now, she is a "big" girl. She's got girth and lots of rolls..... I don't know if that's swelling or if she's just very well fed. Please don't be offened by that comment. I'm just trying to be honest about what I see.



Personally, I'd pull that little male and put a different male in there. If she is swelling.... You might need a larger, stronger, more experienced male to get the job done.



Anyway, I was just trying to give an honest opinion. I'm sorry if I've offended you in any way.
