We have two boas that we purchased this last summer. They are approximately 3-4 yrs old, and growing soooo fast!
They began mating on October 24th, and about 3-4 times a week since then. She (Suzie) is getting a little bigger in her mid section, and although I'm a novice snake owner, I'm almost certain she is pregnant. Unless it's just her pre-ovulation swell.... Either way, I believe (I hope) we will be having some babies in March or soon after.
Due to my inexperience, I've done a ton of reading on how to prepare, but I thought it'd be nice to reach out on this forum and welcome any advice from more experienced boa keepers!
Is there any way I can know for sure if she's pregnant?
The last time she shed was November 13th, and she seems to be basking a lot and taking small baths in her water dish.. He's also been acting strange - more defensive of her, not wanting to eat, etc..
I'm sure I'll have more questions later... but first thing's first.... I'd like to figure out if she's pregnant! :)
Thanks!!
