Although boas can breed well into their 20's many boas will reach their productive peak well before then and it would worry me that this pair has only produced two clutches and i would ask some serious questions about the breeding past of these animals. Sometimes it is better to past on a great deal to get a sure thing.. I would think at 11 years you run the risk of the female being breed out. Just ask some more questions and make sure the pair is exactly what they say they are. Ask about the number of seasons which the pair has breed and produced nothing, or all slugs... and ask when the last clutch of healthy babies was.. I would be careful but asertive!

Good Luck!

Sincerely,
Rose
