Mood lighting and Barry White on the stereo won’t help your snake breed if they are past their season. Snakes breed during a specific breeding season and will not have sex just for the fun of it (only humans and chimps do that, it’s good to be a primate!!!) So it is up to your snakes as to whether or not they will breed. If they do then as long as you provide proper care the babies would be fine. I have included a link to an article the was in the Nov 1996 Reptiles magazine on breeding boas. It was written by Jeff Ronne “The Boaphile” and has great starter information. For even more info you can order Jeff’s video on boa breeding. It has all the info you could need and last I looked it was around ten bucks or so, not bad seeing that you don’t even have to put the effort forth to read a book on it now LOL. A nice step by step guide on video.

Also the article appears on Jeff’s website (where this link will bring you, so if you feel the info was helpful you might want to drop him a e-mail and thank him for keeping space available on his site to help others in their breeding efforts. It is a good guy that would help others produce animals that may one day be seen as competition to his own business, but Jeff is a herper’s herper and I have always found him willing to help out. Here is the linkwww.boaphile.com/article.html

Good Luck
