Early boa litters - who's had them?

Scales Zoo · 03-06-05, 11:28 AM

I've seen a few 2005 boa adds in the classifieds, and I was wondering how many other people have had 2005 litters this soon in the year?

It was a WEIRD winter, maybe the boas are all going to drop really early this year - who knows, stranger things have happened, I guess.

My girl Ted had twenty three last weekend on Saturday. She has always had early spring babies, this being her third time in eight years. She has never become gravid in between her two year intervals regardless of how much she was fed or how many times she copulated with various males.

Our Alice dropped her babies last year on March 3 - she was one of the first I had heard of in 2004 - many came months later. She was good weight this year, and bred to a male salmon - but I've been pretty sure for a while that she is not gravid, unfortunately.

Cool Ryan, thats my youngest sons birthday!! He just turned four. I think every two years is probably more normal and yearly babies is an exception.

I know there was a batch in January,born premature that didn't make it. Mo Perri from out west here also had a litter in February I think. Anybody else?

Not recently, but my earliest litter was Feb 14 in'02. I also was expecting a litter a year or two prior about January which never happened, oddly she retained and delivered late April.
