First litter of the season went...

[djnzlab]

Hi,
Ive read at a couple post that temps play a major role in gestation and amounts of slugs, Also I was wondering if had she been fed the past couple weeks??
I may breed boa's in the future and trying to understand how this could occur.
The three stil born appear normal ??

Temps have nothing to do with slugs. Once the female ovulates, that's it, the ovum are fertilized and moved to the oviduct for gestation. Temperatures CAN affect whether or not you get stills, full-term, premies, healthies, etc etc, but it has zilch to do with slugs (infertile/unfertilized ova).

Now, after so many slugs, one has to look at 2 things and 2 things alone:

1) Compatibility.
2) The male's fertility.

Its gotta be one of the two (or both).

Sorry Darren, that sucks to come home to. But you have a TON of clutches on the way if I'm not mistaken, and you can put me down for at least a few Hoggies when they are born!! Good vibes are being sent to you my man.
