I've had these two together for a while now and she is getting fatter and rounder all the time. She looks like she's just eaten a rabbit but she actually hasn't eaten for over a month. I haven't bred boas before but I'm taking this as a good sign, what do you think?

That's the male coming out to greet me.

A closer look at her swollen area.

One without the stupid flash that makes her look greenish for some reason.

And a couple of quick head shots while I'm getting trigger happy with the camera.

I know this is no reason to get my hopes up too high but it's definitely exciting to see what at least appears to be progress.

Up the stump?? LOL That's a new one for me! Haha!

And of course I remember where I got her Paul, who could forget a guy that travels the province in a mobile zoo? lol! One thing I did forget though was to ask you if you know if this is her first time, I just assumed it was.

How about you, are you breeding any boas this year?

Thanks guys, I'll be checking on them every couple of hours for the next several months. LOL

Robbie,

Yup that's a BP eating a cat alright, I was really lucky that time because usually they eat them head first.

That looks good to me. I hope I see the same thing soon too. Looks like there is going to be a heck of a lot of boas in Canada this year!
Best of luck,

Any swelling like that in a breeding female is always a good sign :) Best of luck with that pairing, I bet they will make some really nice babies for you :)

I'm glad you guys can see the swelling also, it's not an easy thing to photograph and it's always much easier to see swelling or growth in a snake in your own collection. Like I said, I'm not counting the babies yet but a good sign is still a good sign.

I have my avatar in a larger size if anyone wants it for wallpaper or whatever just PM me. I just hope no one tries to copyright it on me. LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist.
