Breeding Walkthrough

BPfanatic Apr 25, 2010 02:50 PM

Are there any breeding "walkthroughs" out there? As in like when to introduce the boas, temps, signs of laying, etc. Maybe even a timeline or something?

Any help would be appreciated

pick up a copy of "The Complete Boa Constrictor" written by Wincent Russo. It is a almost 300 page guide to boas, everything from care and general maintenence to specifics on breeding. When I first became interested in breeding boas years ago, I picked up every Boa Constrictor book I could find, and found them to be very helpful. Do some reading, talk to some breeders, and most of all, attempt breeding yourself.

The books provide a baseline to breeding, but most breeders will tell you to find what works best for you, because it may be something entirely different than what works for other breeders. But for forming a basic guideline of how-to's, I would definately pick up that book by Vincent Russo.

Here is a link to the book, search around on Ebay or something, I'm sure you could find a copy cheaper than the one on Amazon.
