double clutch

gooner Jun 12, 2005 08:59 AM

Hi
Do columbian boa's double clutch like some other snakes or do they only have 1 litter per season? I know it's a pretty basic question but I'm new to boas!
Thanks

Nope, boas can only AT MOST give birth once a year. Some people do not like to produce that female for more than one or two years without a year off for her to really recover and gain back weight. Plus breeding is stressful on the animals. So no... Boas will only give you one clutch a year... If you are lucky!

Sincerely,
