View Full Version : Belly full of babies
Well as her belly continues to grow, I'm more certain that she's got babies (or slugs... :eek: ) brewing away. So I guess I missed ovulation... kind of sucks as now have no ballpark as to when to be expecting anything to bust outta there :confused: Either way... that big belly definitely has something in it :D

Thanks everyone!
Jezabel,
Yeah I know the POS will help, but I don't even know when to be expecting that. I virtually have no clue how far along she is, and would really like to know!

Sweet Linds -- congrats!! :D Hopefully it won't be too much longer before she puts you out of your misery and has some babies... lol. Not knowing sucks... I neglected to write down the lay dates for some of my clutches this year, and not knowing when they should be hatching is driving me nuts :p
Definitely keep us posted... Think I need to start saving my pennies for one of those babies... lol...

Hey Linds
The bigger she looks the better. I have noticed when the females would ovulate and then not swell up much during their gestation it usually meant slugs.
When I have full term litters the females always looked massive approx halfway through the gestation.
About 2 months after ovulation or 6 weeks after POS is when they generally look the biggest.
Best of luck.

Great stuff Linds, crossing my fingers for ya!!
But yo should be able to tell roughly when a POS was, if it occurred. I mean, its not like an adult boa sheds every 3 weeks like a baby. So you should be able to narrow it down to at least 2-3 sheds, than count 105 days after that. I would go with the last shed that occurred after you noticed her getting all fat.
You ARE writing and recording all sheddings aren't you??? ;)
:D
Great stuff Linds! Dont worry some females ovulate later when was her last shed? Is she still breeding?

If you bred her in Jan-Feb she will most likely give drop the babies in mid july, well thats what mine always did. Some a little sooner some a little latter but generaly thats when to expect if you missed the ovulation.
Good luck,
Piers

hey linds , congrats. i hope it goes well for you and her. my limited and humble experience with true red tails is as the summer goes along she will get way bigger. i would expect babies in august through september. true red tails usually have babies much later. and then it will be a sight to see. babies are absolute gems. good luck.
