This 5 year-old Orange Sonoran went 126 days POS and gave a flawless litter today at 6:03AM (it sometimes pays to be an early riser)..
They're so cute! She says Go Away!

.. that's not long, probably about average for my BCI, but no prediction can be made from that.
It's mostly about the preferred temperatures the females maintain and then about locality. I guess that could be said to be all about locality, because females from certain groups tend to have similar preferences and if allowed a big gradient they work it out to their liking.
I'm working on a theory that some females will breed and ovulate and then go back into a feeding mode to fully develop the eggs before settling in to incubate.. I'm unsure how to prove this without cutting them up! Which I would never do.. but it is the only explanation I can see for some extremely long gestation times experienced and how the females act (and look) during that period.
Most all our breeding and ovulation is mid- January to Valentine's day.. but boas are born from tax day to Thanksgiving, with most arriving June 1st to September 1st.
Thanks for that goood question.

Thanks for the reply. I think that your 'work-in-progress' theory holds some water. It makes sense, but like you said, it is difficult to prove if you don't open them up to see solid evidence.
Well, good luck with the remainder of your boa breeding year and thanks again for the info.
Take care,
Eric
Right on Gus!

CONGRATS GUS,
I LOVE the Cancuns. They are just awesome. What a great litter. I can't wait to have a few Cancun litters in the future. Take Care, Jeremy
I meant SONORON. Sorry. I have a few Sonorans and I LOVE them. What an AWESOME litter though. Jeremy
