I walked in on a pair of my boas breeding this morning, they were locked up, is it too late in the year for anything to come from this breeding?

Definitely not too late to breed, just means a later in the year litter. If the male is all over the female, IMO he's smelling her pheromones and she's close to being ready for mating if not already there. I have several pairs mating right now as well.

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count (02/01/2010):
42.61 BRB
27.40 BCI
And those are only the breeders 
lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats 


Thanks for the info, that pair has been breeding for 8 hours, quite a long time, this is my first year breeding boas, doesn't seem hard.
It looks like the male doesn't think it's too late. LOL.
Of course, you won't know if it's too late or not, until you actually get a litter.
I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that it's just perfect timing for that pair.
