Boa troubles....

mack1time Feb 04, 2007 02:22 PM

So i thought i saw post ov shed about 2 months ago. Then my female shed and the male let off the the female and stayed on the cold side constantly. So I seperated them and today fed them both. The male took a while to get to eat and I also threw in a small rabbit for my female. She took it right away and actually was quite feirce. Upon swallowing though she seemed to not take the rabbit as far as usual down her stomach and her posterior has bulged up. Im hoping i did not mess this up as I thought maybe she was not gravid anymore due to another shed and was still looking rather thin. I am now worried she may deliver too soon due to this meal.

It has been almost an hour here since she swallowed and I took a look at her and can now see 2 distinct bulges. 1 of the rabbit the other???? I must note she has not eaten anything for over a month and even then it was 2 adult mice and nothing this big. Any opinions? I will try to post pics soon.
