It has been said, females tend to breed in the rainy season and that gives a cooling effect and cooling will help increase your chances of breeding, is this true? No, When I compiled this info, I found something shocking, gravid females are imported in at all different times of the year, but February, March and April are the months were the most of them come in and actually drop. When you count back, it does not even come close to the rainy season and seems to not matter as far as ovulation or parturition. The few times that I went to Suriname and Guyana, I seen females drop when I was there in January and also in August. It has been said, there are certain times of the year that you need to put your B.C.C. together, is this true? No, and yes. I tried to breed Peruvians back in the 1990s and was not successfull breeding them in the fall or winter and never was successfull until I breed them in the Spring and first part of summer. I have seen that Surinames and or Guyana Shield Localities seem to breed better in the fall and winter as far as the info compiled shows. The info compiled does not show enough evidence to FULLY BACK a " breeding season " , but it does show enough that you can definately increase your chances at certain times of the year, with certain localities. It has been said, multiple males will increase your chances of production, is this true? Yes, multiple males is always a great idea and one that is supported by nearly everyone in the business, but it is still not the code breaker. It has been said, day and night cycles are important to induce breeding, is this true? No, the terrestrial floor of the Jungle is pretty dark and gloomy and Boas can curl up in a dark log for days at a time and never see the light of day. Day and night cycles are more fore the keepers mind, than it is making a contribution to successfull breeding.......Now I will post the last, Part Three......Johnson Herp
