Here is a sample of two boa births, both Hog is. boas. The mother sometimes clears a place for the babies to be born (as in these pics) then positions herself in a place where she has good leverage. Usually you will see her raise the tail and after just a moment a few babies will plop right out.
Then in one or two long contractions the rest of the litter is born. The entire process can take as little as a few minutes. The presence of slugs and other abnormalities may complicate the birthing process.
Here it is in another birth, tail is up and out they come.
One more push and the job is done!
The one grayish baby in this litter was slightly premature but survived and developed normally. Good job girls!
