well, to start it off with, i'm 16, and wanted to get into breeding boas as a hobby. i have had an adult pair for, about a year and a half now. the male is a nice normal, and the female is highly abberant and of a completely different color. well, i kept them separate for quite some time, and at one point, my female looked bigger, so i put the male in. he went pretty nuts, but i didnt see any exact interest in the female, so i left them together for a week or two. i never once saw anything even relatively close to copulation. so i took him out after a while. well then, a little while after, she got bigger again, so i put him in, he had no interest at all for the female, i left him in for a good week to make sure, then took him out. yet a while later than that, she looked huge,s o i put him in, same deal. i couldnt figure out what was going on. so a couple months down the road, i put the male back in her enclosure to clean his tank out, then left him there for a day or two. they both stayed in the hide box. so i took it off of them, put the male back in his enclosure, and she went crazy. she was going nuts around her cage, slinging her tail around like mad, i couldnt figure out what the heck she was doing. then. she settled down an hour or two later. the next day, i came home from school, and the male was going nuts. and stayed that way for hours. i went in to check on the male at around 6:25, and he was still goin crazy, and i looked at my female. she had her tail in the corner, and i could see something slimy. i went to go get what i needed to clean her tank out, when i noticed her tail was in the air again, and something else came out. i noticed there were two little boas in thier sacks in the cage. i qickly scrambled to get a spare tub i have, a heating pad, and some damp paper towels. when i came back, there was a huge mess of little ones, and she was still going. heads started poking up, and my female looked pretty thin. after i was sure she was done, i took her out and put her in a separate enclosre to rest.(she was pretty nasty). i washed my hands and counted 19 live, one slug, and one little, i dont know what the heck it was. looked like a giant bean. i have lots of pictures to share. one little one did die. it was the runt, and considerably smaller, but all 18 are doing well. some of the little ones inherited the females saddles, which look pretty cool.
