So I was curious to see just how ready my female BCC's might be for breeding this season so I decided to take a male and put him in w/ each female.
I threw this male Guyana:

in w/ this female Guyana:

and then I threw this male Suriname (who I just realized I don't have any pics of other than this one of him in his DARK phase):

in w/ this female Suriname:

The results of my little test threw me a bit because I don't really have any experience breeding ANY animals together... yet. BOTH females started darting back and forth across the cages with their tails lifted and they were shooting some liquid and a minimal amount of urates out all over the place! To top that off, I was just staring in amazement and I'm seeing their cloacas dragging across the DCL that I lined the cages w/ and I'm worrying they'll get cut up (think: soft internal tissue against very dry composite paper). The were FREAKING out. I actually got so concerned that I called a friend of mine who set my mind at ease and said that it was akin to "a girl in a bar flipping her hair". There just giving the signals that they're sexually mature and ready to rock. So, I'm extremely excited about the possibilities that may occur this season.
I have two FANTASTICLY patterned and colored Guyanese BCC that were both born in captivity to WC gravid females from the Essiquibo river delta region.
And two SUPREMELY light Surinamese BCC, one is from a Tudehope X Futo breeding the other is of unknown origin, but presumed to be WC by the person I purchased her from.
My Cay Caulkers seem like they may be a bit small (but maybe not since they're a dwarf species) but I'll probably put them together too because they're over 4 years old now.
Next year I should be pairing some Peruvian rainbows as well as some green phase Sanzinia if I can manage to find an adult female between now and then! And any animals that don't take this year.
I've been keeping boas since 2001 and I'm excited and anxious that everything is starting to mature and they're ready for pairing up aaaaand... DISAPPOINTING me! haha
Anyway, just thought I'd share in some excitement!

it's good to hear your efforts may be paying off.

This year will be my first shot at breeding Boa constrictors as well (I did breed Eryx conicus a few years ago).

I liked the analogy to a girl in a bar, was that from someone I know, lol.

Take care, and GOOD LUCK!

Oh, and my trial will be with a pair of 66% het. Bloods. So I'm praying for some little red babies. They are still on feeding right now, and I expect to pair them up right around Halloween!

unabashed individual who uttered those words! lol
Kev is awesome, isn't he?

Hey Jonathan, that's awesome and I am very excited for your upcoming attempts this season. I can definitely relate as I had my first real breeding season this year as well and produced CA boas, yellow rat snakes (from very light S Florida stock) and amazon tree boas. It was all super exciting and I can't wait to do it all again this upcoming season. My results were mixed, but mostly good = 15 healthy baby boas with one still; 6 out of 11 rat snake eggs hatched, but 5 of the babies haves some spinal bumps (all doing really good and eating like pigs though!); 2 live baby atb's, 2 stills and 2 slugs. Overall not bad, but I am hoping to do better this season. What a rush to see animals you've raised from little babies produce their own little babies!

Good luck!
Billy

That's one amazing Guyanan pair! Can't wait to see what kind of color Rose's babies are going to have. I'm going to wire you my deposit right now! LoL! The best of luck. Adam

How big are your Cay Caulkers? I think they would be fine below 4'. I'm hoping to breed a 40" Honduran male with my 4 ft female. Congrats on your breedings, hope to see the pics!

Also, lets see the Cay Caulkers.
