i just bought the boa constrictor manual at the last reptile show and it seems to be pretty informative to me.

Eddie,

No one is going to sit here and type out the basics of boa breeding for you. They're not going to hold your hand and go to all that trouble when 3 seconds in a search engine will return countless caresheets with breeding information. They've recommended some books to you, but you can't expect them to do all of your work for you.

Back to the books. A published author more often than not probably knows more than your average internet opinion (almost guarranteed!). Nuff Said, Mark

EDDIE:

I can make this real easy for you.

CHAPTER ONE:

Deciding the boas you want to raise up and breed. This all depends on many factors that must be thought out before purchasing and dreaming of the future offspring.........................please drop another $2.99 in the bucket to continue for another full sentence to chapter one or $59.99 per chapter

Joking.

Actually your not the first to ask questions and let alone about this subject. People are willing to help when its more a direct question to particular facts to the subject your asking but the question is so broad that we would have to litterally qoute alot of books and videos for you that we all invested into and every responsible animal keeper should do the same. The forums will help and if done polite wise you might get more information than you thought was available. But asking a questions with so much information and so many factors would get us all typing for hours here. A simple search on these forums and some research in some good books will be a better start for you.

Check out these books and video.

EDDIE:

The 4th book in 2nd row - The Boa Constrictor Manual - is a must.
2nd choice would be 3rd book top row - The Living Boas.
As a 3rd choice get the video - All About Boa Constrictors.

All the books I found either on Beanfarm or Amazon.com, the video was here.

Goodluck
