Breeding Columbian Boas

[unknownclown]

Hello
I have an 8' female who is 7 years old and a younger male (5') who have been going at it for 3 days now both are super healthy and great eaters Ive been keeping the temps on 1 side of the tank in the mid 80's... Is there anything else I can or should do to make sure that the babies are healthy? Im guessing once they are tired of breeding I start feeding her everything that moves or do I keep the same feeding patterns?

I haven't bred boas, but with retics its important to feed the mother small meals when she is interested. However most females don't eat during breading season or while pregnant, if they do chose to eat give them a small meal and try again a week later.

We like to introduce males into females cages....as for temps for breeding keep them normal.

Also, make sure to leave them a temperature gradient so they aren't stressed out trying to cool down/warm up.
