Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

A female boa typically mates several times and can mate with more than one male. However, she only produces one litter of babies in a year and sometimes skips a year. On the other hand, a male can mate with several females and sire several litters in a year. This means that the number of females on hand is more likely to limit the number of babies produced than the number of males on hand.
If a seller has 10 males and 10 females while the buyers want to purchase three females for every male, the seller is going to run out of females before selling all his males. The seller is going to have to reduce his price on the extra males to get them sold. Simple supply and demand.
"Temp determined" means "temperature determined". With turtles, crocodilians, and many lizards, simply adjusting the incubation temperature changes the sex ratio in the babies. This is great if you want more of one sex than of the other. As far as I know, the sex of baby snakes is not determined by the temperature during incubation/gestation.
Hope this helps.

You should get 2-3 het. females, the following yr. get a nice unrelated (kinda)albino male. Make sure they are the same strain though. Good luck.

When I first started purchasing investment boas, I got one albino '05 male, and 2 '04 het females...
my reason for this was one male can breed both females, and the prices for sexually mature albino females were almost triple the price I paid for my male...
Hope this helps.
