I have an 03 hypo female that may be gravid. She's been in with my Sharp male sinceke Nov. 30. He was breeding her nonstop for 6 weeks. I didnt witness a swell but she went into she. Once she went into shed he stopped breeding her cold turkey which is a good sign I know, but her shed cycle was only about 9 days as apposed to her usual 6. She is also on the thin side, she hasnt eaten in about a month which I know is no big deal but she looks a lot thinner than she did at the beginning of the season. She was never real thick to begin with because she gave birth in Aug. 06. Now my question, she keeps soaking the cage with really wet urates that stink up the whole room, and she does this like every 3 days or so. Its a real slimy, smelly liquid that soaks the half of a 4 x 2 cage. Hs anyone ever seen this??
BTW this is my first year and the female is just shy of 7 feet and about 13-14LBS.
Thanks a lot, sorry about the rambling.

Sounds like this boa needs some isolation and a trip to the Doc! I'd keep a good eye on the male you used as well, and not put him with any other animals until you do figure out what's going on. Good luck!
