Boa Breeding

djdamore06 Jan 31, 2005 06:29 PM

Hi, I have breed a central amer.hypo to a D&M Sunset Hypo .
Around the middle of December the two stopped breeding and showed no interest in each-other.I beleive I noticed ovulation at this point, And around December 25 I had post ovulation shed.
The snake continues to swell with development but she does maintain temp .She basically won't lay on her pad to thermal regulate. All temps are within range. I recently put the male back with her and again and still no further interest in each other.It has been about 4 weeks since p.o.shed. Any thoughts?

Sounds like she is lying cool while the follicles mature. Nothing to worry about, that is a good sign. She will move over to the heat when she is ready. Eric
