Re: Breeding question
From the pictures, I would wait. If you're serious about breeding, just wait.
If you could provide us with the weight of the snakes in question, we could give you more accurate information.

When I took her to the vet the other day she weighted over eight pounds. My male I would guess is in the 6.5 range- she is a lot more girth and seems to have a large fat supply as her former owner fed her 2 times a week, when I got her she was a complete sausage.

Re: Breeding question
Sounds good too me. Still wouldn't hurt to keep her under your care for a while longer before you breed her.

Re: Breeding question
Am I the only one that saw that he already had them together?
@Trent
What did you produce this year? Was it 3 or four boa litters? I can't remember.

The reason they are together is that his tank, one side busted out and we couldnt fix it, so it wasnt on purpose we put them together. She had no swelling before we put him in there and we hadnt planed to keep him in there for long, just long enough till my husband and I can build a new one out of wood to avoid more glass issues. I think that the tank was warped and eventually the heating and cooling caused the glass to shatter out. I didnt put him in there like LOLOL LETS BREED it was more or less a last resort, what happened afterwords is why I asked about breeding.

It was three..two litters of boas and the other was Blood pythons.
Just had my first ovulation myself two days ago from my snow to hypo pairing!
Got some cool pics of her blown up.
No you were not the only one to see them together

Re: Breeding question
Yea I missed that, very irresponsible. Judging by that move you're not ready to breed.
Just so you can't tell me " you had no other options" I'll tell you what happened to me.
I broke a tank that was housing a male Rtb, instead of placing him on another's tank, fearing that it would cause stress to both animals. I placed him in a pillow case with a few warm water bottles. I then drove to a store to buy a tote.
Not sure why you would place a male and female boa together unless you were planing on breeding them.

Because I cant just scamper off to the store at any time. :/ We only have one car and my husband is military working long hours, by the time he is off the only place to get anything is in a bad section of town.

You're not required to explain yourself. Three is old enough. Some people prefer to wait longer but three is fine. At this point it's really up to you, especially since they've already begun the process. Be warned though, being young and small is probably only going to bring you a smallish litter.

The size of the litter is the least of my concern I just want her to be okay.

Just be aware that it would have been way easier to scamper out to rehouse 1 snake than it will be to sell or rehome the 30 you may end up with. Now is the time to buy a rack or 2. Not the day she delivers. If she even does. If she does good luck and I hope it all works out.

I personally would go with Animal Plastics, they are pretty cheap and I know a few people who use their racks and love them. Animal Plastics

Re: Breeding question
Let's ask this question: Is she an adult or subadult/juvenile? I don't know much about boas.
