Brandon,
. I have some info about breeding Rainbow Boas on my website. I do not think anyone has all the details worked out on how to do it best. There is still a lot to be learned. Generally Rainbow Boa breeding requires some cooling so that both sexes will produce viable reproductive cells. The question is how cool and for how long and whether the sexes should be introduced during or after cooling. I think the best book with information about all the really fine details of breeding all boids is "The Captive Husbandry of Pythons And Boas" by Ross and Marzec. This book is getting old and much has been learned since it was published but it goes into more detail about general boid reproduction than anything else available. IMO this book is a must have for anyone who is serious about breeding any of the boids.
