Day 108 POS and female going into shed?

darkcontinent May 09, 2011 08:23 AM

I just wanted to see what you guys think. Our virgin female DH sunglow was bred multiple multiple times by our male albino motley from October 1st thru mid January. They would lock up within hours of being together and sometimes stay locked up for days at a time. Once breeding activity slowed to nothing and there was very little interest we removed the male. We never caught an ovulation but we did get a POS on January 21st. The female would lay on the heat, began to plump up nicely and we thought everything looked right on schedule. We usualy get our boa litters last week of april to middle of may. Her due date on the shed was May 6th which has come and gone. But now it appears as if she is going into shed which is completely weird for me from what we have experienced in the past. Did the male miss the boat and not get the job done? Thanks for your help

you mean that she may still lay eventhough she is going into shed around her due date? has anyone ever had this happen and had a female lay a good litter?
