 My Columbian RTB Pair!



My main focus has been on my Columbian RTB’s which i have been working on breeding since July. I put them down to hibernate and about 2 weeks after beening in hibernation they started going at it and i knew i might be having my first clutch of Red Tails i cant wait... i am expecting my babies after my females next shed. Only time will tell if it took but they were breeding for almost a week and a half straight in the end of july to the first few days of august. Anyone that breed boas do you think i have guessed about the right time to be expecting my babies? From the middle of my females body to about 1 1/2 ft from the end of the tail has gotten thicker and her body is starting to get wider towards the belly almost triangler.

Here are some pics of them:




Thanks for your help!!!

if ur male is 8 feet, then it is not a male. males rarely grow 7 feet.

Well it must just be a rare event because im positive that it is a male because i had a very good friend of mine probe both of these snakes when i bought them 1 1/2 years ago. His name is Jack Sturgeon and he is a herpetologist of 38 years. I have seen them breeding i stated that in my first post, it was for a little over 1 1/2 weeks. This pair has Previously been breed before i purchased them, i actually bought a baby from them and then later bought the pair and sold the baby. So I don’t believe that is my problem, but thanks for the advice.
