Boa Shed Question

[pjvo]

Hi all,

I recently acquired a breeding pair of boas from an expo. The female is +6ft, the male I'd say +5ft. When I got them they were housed together for a week, maybe a little less, because I didn't have a second tank the right size at the time. They have been separated for a couple days to be reintroduced closer to breeding season. They were always curled up together, but I never noticed any locking of tails. I really hadn't noticed any signs of shed, cloudy/opaque eyes and the sorts, but I just came into the room and noticed she had a full shed and had taken the most massive snake poop I have seen until now. I guess my question what my question would be is how often do big boas shed? Because isn't it a little to early for it to be a Post Ovulation Shed? Sorry I'm new to the whole breeding business.

Thank You!

It depends on the feeding schedule, humidity and the individual boa. My biggest boas usually shed once every two months or so. But it can be variable.

i would doubt it's a post ovulation shed.

My 6 ft female sheds about every 2 months as well.
