Hello,

I have this boa.. It was kept with a male and a extra female who turned out to be a male... sad story short, I splitt theme all up.. and feed here a small meal on the 22/9/04 and no food since. do anyone here see if she is gravid from the picture..
She had a shed around october.. and none since.

she also sits tigth on the heat mat, not moving a inch.

she is extremly agressiv these days.

she had deposited a small mount of feces today, for the first time in 3 months?

thanks for any help..
Alex

Looks possible to me. She would probably have babies within a week.

It is hard to say for sure just from a body section shot. She looks to be swollen in the area that you photographed but that could be explained by a recent meal. If you observed the male courting her and she is showing all signs of being gravid then I would say ok she is gravid, but it is kind of hard to tell just from a picture. The timing with the she and the pre-birth stool all fits so it is likely that babies will be here in a couple of days.
Good luck

Hi and thanks for the replys.

Iv havent feed here since 22-09-04 so it cant be food..

Well I saw that my extra "fe-"male spurred here but no copulation..

Also I looked at the feces more upclose today and it looks very waxy or like super compact.. looking like she has carried it for ages..

The male could so be : see pic or a normal male..
guess whom Im hoping for...
