Is She A Gravid Boa (with pics i hope)??

scot Jan 02, 2009 03:51 PM

Do you think she looks gravid? She is 100% Het Kahl's Albino,
I had her with my male Kahl's Albino. She is looking big and is now 22lbs.
Thanks for any thoughts ,Scott

OK,
The pictures didn't show, but this time I was able to copy and paste to see them.

She looks pretty big. I see LOTS of scale seperation. She seems to be very solid.

Without knowing more details..... I'd say she's either gravid... Or she needs to go on a diet. Since she was in with your male, it's a good posibility she's gravid.

Of course, she could just be having an ovulation. Did she swell up really good and then have a shed? Did she swell up really good and not have a shed? Has she been laying on the heat more? Did your male lose interest?

If she swelled up and then shed, she's probably gravid.

Thanks for getting the pics up.Yes she was with my male swelled up and shed, now she is swelling more and she is on the heat most of the time.She also is coiled up most of the time and is not eating as aggressively the last two weeks. Thanks

It sounds like you're going to be having a nice litter. Going by how big she is, you might have your hands full.

She should give birth 15 weeks, give or take a few days, after that last shed.

So, when is she due?

Thanks,her last shed was dec 12.I guess due date will be last week in march or first in april.If im lucky i'll get some nice albino's.Good thing my rats are breeding like crazy.Im going to need pups and fuzzy's.

She looks gravid to me, but could be mistaken as shes a pretty thick boa all the way.
Shes a pretty one!
