Artificial Boa Progression:
This is one of my favorite Boas of all time. Here is the first picture I ever took of her. I'm still a little shaky after seeing and holding that baby May 28, 2006.
Then another shot where get a glimpse of her with her littermates when she was about 2 weeks old:
Here she is again when she was a month old:
Another shot:
And another:
I told you I really love this one!
Oh yea...
This one was taken when she was about 7 months old:
Then at about one year of age:
A year and a half:
Then at two years of age:
And another:
I did start trying to breed her in 2009. She she is with a Sharp Albino male:
Must be the red dye I feed to the rats huh!?
I did try to breed her again in 2010 but for some reason don't have any pictures of that. In 2011 she was courted relentlessly by two male Pearlescent Boys. Neither of which apparently did everything to her liking.
No slugs. No swelling. No ovulation.
Well... maybe, just maybe 2012 will be a different story:
The courtship has been relentless:
And this year... maybe... this female which is obviously swelling to a massive size...
And turning a very nice dark shade of her former self. Perhaps this will be the year that she shows me the wonders I have been working toward for so long.
I just can't imagine what this little girl with this little boy will make together:
Are you bored out of your mind yet or what!?
