Poor girl. I have a feeling this shed will be hard on her, as she can barely move. Have to wonder too if she will birth or shed first. My heart goes out to her.

She is getting way too thin. I can see her backbone all the way up and I can't stand it. Hopefully, she will regain her appetite quickly after the babies are born.

Sorry for the dirty paper, with her this far along, I was afraid to pick her up to clean.

Laura,

She looks great. That is exactly how you want her to look. This thin neck means there are some nice, well developed babies inside. Trust me, she will be looking for a big juicy rat in no time. Can't wait to see the pics.

I have a female that was due on the 12th of this month that just went into a shed cycle 3 days after her due date, so i first noticed her looking dull on the 15th and she just shed out last night and today is now hunting for a nesting spot to have her babies! I know what you mean about being thin, this girl hasnt ate since male introduction, she ovulated and just refused food the whole time since.

I hope all goes well, and let us know when they drop, they should be very interesting babies.

Cheers,
Mark

Laura V.-

I understand that you feel for her,.....but she is naturally doing, being, and looking like a healthy gravid boa that is going to drop a fantastic litter!!!!! Please let me know, as I would like a trio from her. Keep up the great care, passion and work!!!!! globalsnakes@yahoo.com
