Well this time last year I started breeding my boa's an ended up flopping on one female but Raindrop blessed me with a large beautiful litter 37 an 3 sluggs!Well she has put back on her weight an then some compared to her weight an size last year!
She got moved into a larger reptile enclosier an Cammie an I noticed the little bb's[lol] going down her sides again an their hadnt even been a male in with her since last season!So she was given a very large meal[rabbit]an a few weeks for digestion!Then a male was interduced for a good 3 weeks but notta,So every 2 weeks bothe were seperated an offered a meal an still notta!
This went on for a while an the male wasnt interested at all!An I so I figured well maybe its just not your time an seperated them,the confusing thing about it all was I know she was producing her egg folicles an every male in the room started trying to become an escape artist,lol!So I fed the big girl again an waited three days an Interduced Roberto!He went dead for her an sarted the dance,He has been in with her for a few weeks now an is one awsome breeder,He's given a break for food an right back at it he goes!WOW,Thanks Gray!
It wasnt the breeding I wanted to do,But I cant make a male do what he dont want to do!So I figured why waste the egg folicles!Sorry for the long post but just keeping everyone up to date since I havent been on very much with the life problems that have been thrown at me the past few months an Thanks for your patience!!
Ok we all seen their were some really nice abberencies in about 10 of her babies an connected head striping an a few odd patterned saddles in quite a few an some really decent normals!An I fuly understand that didnt prove anything as far as the abberancies go but what can be expected from breeding a definate genetic stripeline animal to her?Should be a very interesting litter for sure!Well here are a couple older pics of the hopefully MOM an POP to be!Thanks for any help or opinions!Eric[Hypoboa]

Oh an everyonbe have an awsome weekend an be safe!Thanks again!

Hey Eric, I can't wait to see the babies you produce from that breeding!! They ought to be some real Screamers! I got dibs on one or two ok? Also I discovered this year that when the female gets fed right she goes into producing follicles right on schedule...at least that's what it seems like to me. They are breeding like crazy here!!!

I'll get some pics in Daytona. Talk later, Andy
