Just wanted to give an update. Well, she still hasn't dropped yet. I had projected by the end of feb, but she has proven me wrong. I lost my records when moving to the new house and just had to go from memory. As long as she has gone now I just don't know. I had remembered her last shed being in late Sept, early Oct, but I must be wrong. I have my records up to date now but have lost everything from September to December. We will see. She is huge, but seems to be shrinking down in size a little, which sometimes means she is getting close, as the babies absorb more of the yolk etc.

I don't think some of them read the book. I have one that went 135 days after her POS. I was a nervous wreck too. LOL

There are other books that say gestation can go from 90 to 180 days. Maybe there's something to that. ??

I have heard of boas going 8-9 months before they drop, I don't know the truth in that, or if it was in captivity or not. But, yes, I am a nervous wreck too. Atleast my out of state trip is over.

I totally forgot. Try spraying her with a water bottle if she's not used to being misted. And pray for rain!! Lots of female boas like to give birth during rain, whether it's the barometric pressure change or the idea that the baby fluid will wash away and the babies could not be tracked by predators as easily, no one's sure, but try spraying her if you don't have any rain scheduled for a while!! Let me know how it works for you!

I never thought of spraing her. I guess the worse thing that can happen is she can get just a little extra humidity huh, lol. I will try that tonight and let ya know.
