Hello, one of my bigger female boas just had about 3-4 slugs (not sure on exact number bc she had already smashed them when i saw them) approx. 3 weeks before her due date. She did everything by the book, i saw breeding, she swelled up, ovulation, post ovulation shed , gravid coil , went off feed , and so on.
So is it Possible she had these and is still holding the rest of the litter whether it be actual babies, slugs , or a mixture of both? after having these 3-4 slugs she did not loose much weight and she hasnt eaten in months so i am assuming she might be holding back because she still retained so much weight ... is it possible that her body rejected the slugs while still caring for the rest? can she still have the rest of the litter in 2-3 weeks ? i know that boas can retain slugs, heard of them retaining just a couple, but for a boa her size she would be retaining a much larger amount i would think...
anyone with any experience with this situation? ever have a partial litter and the rest later on ? maybe its because one side ovulated before the other? i am just not sure ! ... any help appreciated ...i am still waiting on my vet to call back! thanks
