Help...121pos and still waiting...

alemoz Jun 18, 2011 07:10 AM

hy everybody,
I have 2 females which are evidently gravid that today are 121 pos.
And I have 2 more that are 111 pos today.
I am a little bit concerned, they look ok but no sign of parturition.
What do think? Is there something that I can do? When do you think is time to worry?
Any help would be appreciated. Sorry for my bad English.
Best wishes
Alessandro

121 POS is worry territory in my book. I think that calls for a vet visit to determine what is going on in there. The 111 POS shed should also be approaching the time of concern. How sure are you that these females are gravid? It seems pretty unlucky that all of your females are going that far past their due date.

Every year people mistakenly mis-count - usually by thinking that they seen an ovulation , but actually was not , or they didn't observe the 2nd ovulation - causing the due date to be furthur than expected . This could very well be one of those times . Boas have a unique way of driving us crazy in the waiting game.
