If the female is receptive then you should see courting. Introduce the male into the females enclosure one week after the females last meal.Ħ. Males feed again after female ovulation or after all breeding attempts are over.ĥ. Females will eat again after ovulation, after all breeding attempts are over, or between cycling (coming up).Ĥ. Stop feeding females at the end of September. NOTE: Temps too high or low may be one of the biggest reasons for breeding failures.ģ. Days get shorter, and as long as you have a window, the boas will get the drift. Pressures change as storms roll through as well as a change in humidity. Most snake rooms cool a bit in the winter naturally.
There are a few things that tell a boa it’s breeding time (at least this is my guess). Jeff says he never adjusts the temps for a “cooling period”. Enclosure temps should be 82 ambient temp and a hot spot about 90 degrees. Age isn’t always full-proof and the boas should be appropriate size.Ģ. Females should be over 2 years old and males at least 18 months old. Make sure your boas are of age and in prime health. I think you will find a lot of value in it too, so you may want to bookmark this page.ġ. I figure if I’m going to think this through all the way I may as well document it for my own good. This blog post is just a short version for reference.

If you don’t read his full article, buy and watch one of his movies, or read his portion of the care guide over on, you will miss some very important info. Jeff Ronne has been doing it since I was in diapers. DISCLAIMER: I have very little experience breeding boas. Then I recommend you go read his guide instead of the short, singularly perceived version I’m about to lay down. First I’d like to give the credit to Jeff Ronne the Boaphile for years of work and observation. The main differences between the boaphile way, and the others is whether or not to cool your boas and the practice of “cycling” or using “the window of opportunity”.
There are a few different variations on breeding boas, but I like the boaphile way (or what I see as the boaphile way). It’s boa breeding season (Oct – Feb) so I thought I would post a basic boa breeding reference guide.
