don’t breed until your familiar with the ins and outs of it all(no pun intended) be prepared and do research just don’t throw them together to breed, make sure everything is right as it should be and you have enough people(market) for the babies.

If you goto google.com or yahoo.com or another good search engine and search for it, you should find some good sources for the information you need.

breeding boas is really easy, they give live birth so theres no incubating any eggs. Do your research then ask questions.

yes boas r easy.mine are bumping uglies as we speek...
first of all for more successsful breeding dont keep them together all year round... some times they breed but most often they dont.. make sure in the winter..um forgot the term danget.. but basically slowly lower her temp..dont freeze her but its basically like a dormant / hiberation stage..like in the wild..its winter man..because in the end of winter early spring they look for mates after this stage.. slowly bring the heat up.. at this time.. then after a few weeks introduce the male to your female.. DO NOT BREED HER TO YOUNG! wait until she is a good size minimum 5’ i dont breed till after 6-7. the bigger shes is and the longer she hasnt breed the larger the clutch with less stress on her.. make sure they are at a good 85-90 degress .. durring this time you might have problems with the male eating dont worry its normal..hes looking for love man not a bite to eat..you will see the male laying on top of her with the end of the tail wrapped around hers.. whats cool it the male has what they call a hemi penis.. 2 penis’s basically..he will insert his hemi penis in the cloaca and you will see the males tail flex.kinda.. that means you have confirmation that she could be fertle.. the more they do it the better.. makes more for a larger clutch.. after they aint doing it anymore.. remove the male..females tend to get alil stressed when gravid... dont handle her alot! or at all if possible you will see the gearth about 1 1/2 to 3-4’ from the tail get fatter..yup break out the cigars.. need to keep her with a basking area about 100 degrees.man i can go on and on.email me..i will help ya..@ critters2004@msn.com or thow up a post.. it might be alil to late in the year.but good luck mine are still at it..
