Hello..many years ago I had a few boas and I followed an older version of philipe vojole???( spelling is not correct) method of breeding...seemed to go well, allot of copulating but very few litters but it worked.
Years later I am trying the same method and it dont appear to be working. I may have lost the chance to breed this year.
What I have done is 1 october feeding stopped (to clear bellies) and oct 20 cool down started (temps dropped slowly for a week of so to achieve 70 as a low and 81 as a high.) Animals were introduced on 16th of nov on and off thru dec 3 with no activity observed. dec 4 I decided to start raising temps to achieve 87 high 83 low like I done in the past..but no activity. one female is in shed now and I feel I screwed up this year.
Is it to late no to try other methods?

Boa Breeding question
Replies (1)
no, I do not think it is too late to get something going. I've heard of boas successfully breeding as late as feb-early march. As for why you are having no such luck, I'm clueless. everything sounds good to me, perhaps the boas are just not attracted to eachother, or perhaps not ready to breed, depending on age/size. Try throwing the male with another female, and perhaps another male with the female. Maybe if they see a different snake, they may breed.
Other tricks, if you dont have another male/female, you can take the shedd of a different male, throw it in the cage. sometimes the scent of another male can get the male to breed because he will feel like he has to compete.
