So Steve and I are still waiting for this nice litter of Birthday Hypos, but my birthday was three weeks ago and her due date was also three weeks ago... 125 days, Steve must get up every hour during the evening to go and stare at her and just ask, why no babies yet... Linda how is your missy doing? any good news to show???? Anyways just wanted to put an update out there with all the beautiful snows, hoggs, albinos, hypos and beautiful spectacular locality specifics being born i just feel left out... Hopefully good new will come tonight!

...75 sub-adults breaking out of their over-sized birth sacs. I bet mom is like "C'mon, stop wasting time and slither your little cloacas out of here RIGHT NOW!!". I believe ALL mothers are alike! LOL! Hang in there, we are all pulling for you and waiting anxiously right along with you. I'm thinking "Mother's Day Boas" has a nice ring to it as well. Take care. Derek

"I feel your pain" was never more appropriate.....even when Clinton originally coined the phrase. Jessica is at 126. She continues to behave the same, ie., thermo-regulating, but staying on the heat more and maintaining a warmer body temp, just as she has all along. She has also started into another shed cycle and is opaque right this minute. Like Steve, I also ask Jessica, "No babies"? She has been grumpy the last month or so, and when I try to comfort her, she lazily hisses at me....."Get outta here, ratlady". I am starting to worry a little - wondering how much longer I should patiently wait and monitor her before "calling the doctor". So Rose, my fingers are crossed for both of us

"There is just as much horse sense as ever, but the horses have most of it".

I was wondering the same thing, at what point do i stop being patient and take her in to the vet. But i think if i get much past 130 i will be taking her in... just seems like at a point she needs to burst open. Steve hardly sleeps anymore, hes just worried about the mom now... She is huge and she can't stay in one place for more than 2 minutes. Always hot side-moist box-hot side-moist box, and we have had a prewaxy stool since friday night, which i thought meant forsure last weekend but.... nothing I just want to know at what point i should take her in... Any feelings on that??

Sincerely,
Rose Hipskind

I actually am starting to believe that it is more common that boas take more then 105 days ...... well I keep on telling me that to calm me down .... and you know what it is not working !!!!

As we can see there are enough reportings of 120 days. From now on I do not take this 105 day serious, but because this is my first gravid boa I am still freaking out here.

I also have a brian sharp strain albino gravid.... thank god I forget to write down the date of the POS.

Keep us posted everyone .... a post about giving birth after 125 days POS gives us that are still waiting some extra hope!!
