i recently was given two boas from a friends friend who knew i was into snakes and lizards. he didnt take very good care of them, small cage, skinny, etc, (no disease though). i built them two large enclosures and put them together for a while for space perpouses, i feed them seperatly in seperate container. no probs so far. tonight i walked in on them and the male (which i identified as a "Fineline" on the boaphile's site) was laying on top of the female (common columbian) and about a foot of his body was kinda slithering in place, their tiles are intertwined at the colocas and he had his head on top of hers. is this a good sign or a bad being they are different types of boa's?? any help would be greatly appreciated!!

laughs . . . they are not different kind of boas, they are both Colombians. Fineline may be the name of the strain or it may just be descriptive too, be careful.

i know what i am doing, just in case you thought i didnt....never bred boas before, just beardies and b.p.'s, fineline is also referred to as "Peruvian"...from different hemispheres...would you breed a dumeril's and a rainbow?? i was wondering if anyone knew just how different peruvian's were from columbians as far as breeding capatability etc... thanks though
