I want to get a boa dvd and want to know who has the best one out there. Any help is appreciated in advance.

I'd suggest getting both of them. Both have good info, but they vary slightly.

You should also invest in some books on breeding as well. When it comes to breeding boas, you need to get as much info as possible. There's lots out there. Some of the info will conflict with other info. It's not that any of it is "wrong". It's just that different people find that different methods will work best for them. It's all a matter of trial and error.

Now if you're thinking you're going to buy a video, watch it,follow the instruction and then produce boas......

It's not always that easy. Actually it's almost never that easy.

Just try to gather as much info as possible. Pay close attention to your boas. You may find that your boas will teach you almost as much as you can learn from books, DVD's/VIDEO's, and forums. Don't ignore obvious or even subtle signs that your boas are showing. Take notes... LOTS of notes. Write down everything, even if it doesn't seem important at the time. It might make LOTS of sense later.

Anyway, it seems like some people can breed their boas with little or no effort. While others struggle, just to produce their first litter. Although breeding boas "can" be a hit or miss thing, if you educate yourself on their "needs".... You might end up with more hits than misses.

It might take a few tries to find what works best for your boas. You might get it right the first time. Once you do find the right method for your boas, you should stick to it. Maybe make slight changes here and there to try and improve your odds, but don't make too many changes. Remember, "if it's not broke, don't fix it".

Good luck with your breeding efforts.
I hope you have many healthy litters.

I have already produced litters before but I just wanted to get as much info as possible. Can't hurt to learn some secrets from the big boys.

Then get both. The info in each is good. They just vary slightly in methods.
