Hey guys and gals! I am purchaseing a het for albino pair and the female is supposed to be gravid. Can you give me some advice on what to look for to make sure the female is gravid please? Other than the post on preovulation from Jeff below I don't have much to go on. After they ovulate do they keep the "girth" or does the swelling go down if she is gravid? If so how can I tell she is gravid? Are there dead giveaways and tale-tale signs to look for or will it be obvious she is gravid. Both boas are 04 hets from Ralph Davis lineage. I am really excited about getting this pair but don't want to drop this much cash if she isn't really gravid. Thanks for any help in advance! (btw, I am driving to pick them up here in Missouri so she won't be stressed by shipping)

Tahnks for looking,
Robert Wood

I personally wouldnt take anyones word on it. I myself am driving from STL to Chicago to pick up a pair of stripes poss het albino that have been breeding but no clue if the female took. I wont complain if she isnt and as long as you like them enough to claim it as a pet then there is no price that is too high.

Good to see someone else from MO

Kind of hard to mistake that far into it.
