Breeding questions......boa is gravid........

ajfreptiles Dec 10, 2004 08:16 AM

I have a female that shed normal after the ovulation. Her POS was on Oct. 20th . She recently went into a shed again, and is alot darker and in blue right now. I know some boas have a second or 3rd shed, but is this due to feeding her small meals from time to time? Or are there other factors that cause this, such as temps, and is there any reason to be concerned? Thanks Andy

Some females do shed one or more time after POS. The most common reason is due to the female still being feed. But, like you said, temps, humdity, diseases, and other factors could be the reason too. Feeding is the most common factor though.
