my boas seemed to just stop breeding. Nothing has changed, temp at 89 on hot spot, air temp is at 80. A couple seem to be gravid but I have taken the males out and put them with other females. Great courting at first but now nothing. Could the males be worn out? I just gave them a meal about three days ago. any input/ personal experiences would be greatly appriciated.

I keep my snakes in colonies, and the males breed multiple females, and females are bred by multiple males. Some times a couple of males are interested, while a few others lie in an opposite corner and pay no interest. Sometimes, three males might be interested, and they all pursue the female with no fighting...only jousting for tail position by position changing. As for the two you think are bred, a lot of times the males are removed too soon, and the female has only ovulated. I would say keep introducing them for a while. Hope this helps you. Sharon
