this girl is KILLING me.......!!!!!!

NUCCIZ_BOAS Jul 07, 2007 03:52 PM

or maybe I am just killing myself here.... I think the majority of us that take interest in the snake world have a problem when it comes to patience.... So here is my situation. I bred a 2004 male sunglow with a very weird coloring to him, (look at his "ghostly" tail).

to a 2003 female arabesque 100% het albino.....

Here they are breeding.....

and here is an ovulation.... or what I assumed was one.


That "ovulation" picture was taken on January 25th.... She never had a POS. That being the case, the babies should've been born around May 25th or so. However, I think my impatience made me overlook the next huge, and I do mean HUGE swelling on March 5th, followed by a shed on April 22????? yes, a month and a half later. Could it just be a very delayed POS? If so, that puts her projected due date in the first week of August. This is pictures of here as of about 15 minutes ago. If you look to the far right of the picture, you see the swelling and even lumps in her, so there is definately something inside there....

Any opinions/comments????? I am DYING to have a sunglow arabesque, especially if this male's odd colored tail gets passed on.... Imagine what I am going through with this very cruel waiting game she is putting me through.

lol, the pain of waiting is a severe one, someone should come out with a pill to combat it, they'd make a killing on us Boa people. I hope she drops a big healthy litter for you come August. She looks good to me.

Go outside take off all your cloths and start chanting and dancing in a circle for it to rain! When the police show up, tell them why you are dancing naked in the yard! I'm sure you will still be arrested! Once you get out of jail I am sure you will come home to the biggest litter of Arabesque Glows you have ever seen! She looks great!!!! Just keep pacing that room and she will never drop ex. "a watched pot never boils"! You can try the dancing naked in the yard thing, but I wouldn't recommend it!!!! You have babies on the way!!!!

I tried for the same thing this year and she didn't take. I actually tried 4 pairings this year and the only one that took is a het sunglowXalbino het snow. Best of luck on your pairing. Hopefully next year will be better.
