Still Gravid, Still Waiting

Jgirl257 Jan 07, 2007 06:42 AM

Since this is my first gravid female, I have read the boa care sheet over and over to make sure everything is right. I'll probably have the female that takes 8 months to have the babies. Friday she never laid still, back and forth which is very unusual for her, she usually goes from hot to cool spot and lays for hrs. She also was flailing her tail up in the air, so I sat in the dark and watched, figuring this was it. Well a watched pot they say never boils, well a watched boa is the same!!! I did see something poke out her side like a baby kicking,they have the same idea I have let me out!! The male was taken out the 2nd week in July so hopefully. I know patience is a virtue, so I'll sit in the dark and wait some more. Here's the latest pic of her.
thanks for "listening"
as you can see the date is wrong, have no idea how to change it.

When did she ovulate?? It is 105 days from ovulation. Thats the number give or take a day or so. Get the book from the Jeff the Boafile it explains everything to include pre ovulation swelling......

But incase she drops young...you have missed the correct ovulation date.
