Nice multicolor mass of living spagetti you have there.Im currently working with Guyana's and if I can ever get them to breed,I have alternative lifestyle males I think, I will keep the whole lot just to prove to people it can be done.I recon I have another good 9-10 years to succeed.

Historically, The true Red Tail Boas (Boa Constrictor Constrictor) Have been difficult to breed in captivity due to unwilling males. (Boa Constrictor Imp.) Colombian and Central American Boas have always been more willing to do so on a one to one basis. One of the tricks to getting the BCC Boas to breed is to use multiple males in the same cage during courting. The presence of more then one male stimulates the males into a mock combat ritual. It is thought that this Mock Combat helps produce the needed hormones to get the male into the breeding mode.
Once you have the males together with the female for about two to three weeks, you can then take one of the males out so the other can breed in peace, if not they may just continue with the combat (seeing the loser has no means of escape) and may never get to the mating part.
I hope this info helps some
