My pair of het for albino boas started breeding a few weeks ago, I notice them locked for about 5 days and last I checked they where unlocked. Can I now feed them? my male is looking a little thin will it hurt the female developing if fed now?

Yes,In my opinion it is ok to feed during breeding!Plus some gravid females will also eat the whole time they are pregnant!I wouldnt give them a large meal like they usually would eat!Example if your males eating large give him a medium or small to medium!Same with the female!Giving a female that is gravid to large a meal may cause her to drop her litter prematurally!Like I said this is only my opinion on what I have done with my own breeding trials,Someone elso may or may not disagree!Hope this helps!Oh an always seperate while feeding!ThanksEric[Hypoboa]
