This is my first year in breeding boas.
After having years of experience of breeding pythons, I thought it would be nice to breed boas ..... not dealing with eggs and things like that.
But now I think it is much more frustrating having to wait for the female to give birth.
I know that there are more people out there that are going through the same problem as I do at this moment.
I just wonder what the longest period is after a POS that you know of.

I totally understand your frustration. With pythons you can see the fertillity of the eggs and know if they are going to live or die. Boas, its a toss up the whole time. I don't believe in swearing by the POS anymore. Last year I had a couple go rigt around there, and one female drop dead, fully developed babies at 133 days. The reason I dont believe so strongly is because this year I had a female drop 17 perfectly healthy babies at 55 days after her last shed. Although there could be a shed in between but I havent heard of one.

Im waiting on a hypo littler to prove out one of my male possible supers that just wont happen.... the female has been moving up and down the tank so im hopefull that someday soon i will have a nice litter of babies... just got to keep waiting..

Sincerley,

PS. the waiting kills Steve he just can't take it..!
