You're talking about Boas right?
Boas don't have "eggs".

Yes they do, they just don't lay "eggs"
I think what he is saying is he is wondering if the first male helped the female along and got her to develop her follicles etc.

Yes thats what I meant[egg folicles],This is a sign that my first male isnt quite old enough right?Thanks again for any help!Eric[Hypoboa]
Well, I had thought the same thing in the past, but I have heard of males courting and attempting to breed females that were gravid. So ya never know till the litter shows or doesn't show.

So I take it that I just keep the countdown that I have already started,unless she sheds again!The breeding part has come fairley easy,The learning everything that can or cant happen has been the hard part!lol!Thanks for helping!Thanks Eric[Hypoboa]
of this. The camera is never around handy for those moments! Just the mental images I got were pretty funny. Poor Cammie. Here she is, trying to be supportive and participating in the "boa activities" and she ends up getting slimed......eeeewww! Kahl is certainly a determined boy. He was on a mission and wasn't going to let you humans get in his way.....hehehe....too funny.
