 Ovualtion

What are sure signs of ovulation in red Tails, I know they give live birth so I was wondering if they swell like and egg laying constricor would?

 Ovualtion

The easiest way for me to explain ovulation in Boas... well there is no easy way. LOL According to Barron’s Boa book (pages 47 and 48)There is a mid body swelling as the mature ova are released from the ovaries. However, this may only be apparent for a very short time, so you must examine females on a daily basis. Ova may be released before copulation and wait to be fertilized... or the female Boa can actually retain sperm and the ova be fertilized after copulation. I hope this helped.
