This is how my year is starting....
 
She is my 8ft circle back, last time she bred, 2 years ago, she had 32 live, 2 slugs. This year I am proving out my male super hypo with her, hoping for all hypos, fingers crossed. Look at her size! She is larger around than a football, I can't fit two hands around her. I am excited, last year I didn't have any females get this big. Wish me luck!

WOW!!!
 
She looks like she is going to explode. Keep us updated.

Awesome Snake.I love the size on her . Crossing fingers for you ~!

Oh, I'll post the pics of the litter, believe me. You know something strange I have noticed with her that is different than any other female I have came across? Female boas that are prego have a higher body temp than normal, which I have found is usually around 86-88 degrees, this female on average is about 89-90, and those are temps that are consistentm, even when she is on the cool side. I am hoping it means a bigger litter. :)

She is HUGE :eek:

Good luck :thumbsup:

Its gross to look at her from the side, her ribs are all, well, I won't get into details. I just feel sorry for her. I would not be suprised to see 40 little ones in this litter.

Yikes. I wouldn't get too close to her back end right about now. When's she due?

mxracer4life 02-23-2010 09:56 AM

Well.... going off her last shed and ovulation, I would of projected by the end of Feb, but we are there now, and no sign yet. She did take a small meal 2 days ago, she hadn't been eating, so it could be anytime. I am hoping she goes before next weekend, March 5th I am leaving state for a few days and would hate to leave with her still prego, my wife would freak if she had to deal with it.

By the way, something else amazing about this girl, she has not shown any aggression through this pregnancy. Cage cleaning, even though I keep it to a min. when they are prego, when I have had to do it, she let me scoot her over to clean, AND I occasionally rub her back, when I do that, she tilts her head up like a dog does when you scratch there back, its crazy, lol.

Very cool Jeremy, best of luck with her!! Can't wait until next year when I get in the Boa Breeding mode.
