First time breeder???

mbleek448 Jan 16, 2005 11:16 PM

I have a boa that I think is gravid. My first time. She hasn't moved from her spot in weeks. Now tonight she is very active and she has her tail arched. Are these signs of babies coming? How long does labor last? Thanks for the help Marshall

Did you see them breeding? What kind of boas are they? Most are pregnant for 120 days or more. So a few weeks of sitting on the heat is unclear. Let us know more info. Andy

I think she is a normal columbian. I bought her as hypo adult, but I think I got ripped off. Any way she was locked up in october and shed pretty fast afterwards. I made the mistake of not writting down dates. she hasn't ate anything. She is just acting different. More active. Thanks Marshall
