Hi everyone.
as some of you might know this is my first attempt breeding, and I like to get some advise from you guys.
anyway my female has refused food the last three time and is spending all of her time in the hot hide. but anyway the last couple of days she have been outside the hot hide, but still at the hotspot. and I took these pic. today. is this an example of a brb acting gravid, or is it just a brb beeing a brb??
I would love to hear everyone fifty cents on this matter!

Best regards
Dan Binderup

Dan,
I've been following your posts and looking at your pics. I hate
to get your hopes up because, well you just never know. But if I was you I'd have about 15 or so rubbermaid shoeboxes, a like number of small clay hides (I used the small dishes the pot rests in),water dishes and a reliable source of live rat pinks.
I played the pessimist and had to scramble at the last minute.
I think your going to be a daddy.

Dan,
. Welcome to the exasperation that is breeding Rainbow Boas. This time of year drives me nuts. If you look at all the PICs I posted last night you might get the impression that I was certain about those snakes laying nice litters for me this year. A few of them I have been able to feel the lumps in when they crawl through my hands and so I am reasonably certain they will lay babies....or slugs dangit. The rest of the snakes in the pictures have been bred and most of them look and act gravid. Some of them will lay nice litters of healthy babies and some will lay slugs and some will lay nothing. I think Paul is right about your snake. You better be thinking about taking care of babies.............but do keep your fingers crossed ALL the time.
Good luck,
Jeff

I was wondering how your's were doing. Since I'm new too, I am afraid to think mine is gravid, but she acts the same as when she was. Yours lays the same way mine does. Mine had 22 the first time. If I were you, I would start working on some housing plans. Good luck. Keep us updated.
