Hi all,
anyone who has experience breeding Dumeril's boas, whats the most you have heard of in a litter?
Because this past year my female had her very FIRST litter.
13 LIVE BIRTHS, all healthy and survived, 0 stillborns.

Last year was the first year for both her and my male!
Can't wait to see what this year brings.
I don't expect that amount this season as this had to have been a fluke, however, would like to hear what kind of numbers others are seeing!

I had a pair that I picked up as adults that produced three liters for me over six years (I bred them every other year). The first liter for me was 7 live 4 slugs of which we kept and still have one male from that clutch. The second liter was 14 live, 2 still born, and 1 slug. The last liter was 19 live and 0 still born or slugs. They were bred by the previous owner once before I got them and produced 10 live, 7 slugs for him.
 
Wow. I had no idea Dumeril's had so many babies, but it's not too surprising. Anyways, congrats on all the healthy babies :) I picked up my first Dumeril earlier this year at a show, and he quickly became one of my favorite snakes. I had never seen one before in real life, it's a shame not too many people are working with them. Glad to see someone is!
