Question from someone interested in BCCs

wizbang Mar 21, 2009 03:32 PM

Been thinking about getting a boa for many many years now.

Have owned corns and now own a cal king.

After thinking about the topic over the years I believe I'd like a Surinam. Actually I'm sure of it.

My question is: When is the breeding season? I don't see a lot (or any)neonate BCC's in the classfieds. I'm guessing based on some of the posts I see here, that the females may be producing fairly soon?

Congrats on your decision to work with BCC!

As for the breeding season, in the wild, they should already be producing. In captivity, our season is reversed (because we're in the Northern hemisphere) and you have another approximately 5 months to wait for babies.

There are several very well known BCC breeders who have litters fairly consistently. If you're looking for something specific (breeders line or attributes that a breeder typically produces), get in touch now and ask to be put on a waiting list.

In the mean time, do all the research you can on caring for BCC. They're pretty close to, but not exactly like BCI. Learn the differences and prepare for them now and your new BCC will live a long, healthy life in your care!

Congrats again!
