i have a 06 male regular boa and a 05 female snow boa...i am housing them together because it is easier...i just put them together this week and all they do is follow eachother around...is there any chance they may mate?..this is not desired now because they are wayyy to young but is there a chance they will try?...any help will be appreciated...thanks

I am really curious...

I just can't imagine someone spending $4000-$6000 on a Snow boa and not know anything about boas in general......

But to answer your questions with my opinion, NO you shouldn't have a problem with them "Breeding", I personally would try and seperate them, especially the Snow Boa. We house all of our snakes individually as a saftey percaution. Its easier to monitor health (i.e. Fecals, Sheds, Urates, Water consumtion...ect.ect.) and also feeding them is easier when they have thier own enclosures to go back to. Especially with such an expensive, beautiful Boa like a Snow Boa, I would Highly Recomend getting seperate enclosures.

Good Luck..

well i have loved and kept boas my whole life(as pets, not for breeding) and am now starting to get into the breeding field...had extra money to invest in some beautiful boas and decided to start with snow....have pretty good knowledge of husbandry of boas and am learning everything i can about breeding...she is only 1year old at this point so i figure i have 2 years to learn all the ins and outs of breeding before she was ready...just wasnt sure if housing her with another at this young age would be problematic...thanks for your help
