    new boas! a couple questions

    I've been mostly into balls but i've been really interrested in boas lately and I recently aquired an adult female pastel and a male super salmon het albino. the female is gravid and is gonna give birth any day now. I've tried looking up info on breeding boas but havent found too many sites. here are some questions.
    1. after the babies are born do i immediately remove them and house them seperately?

    2. how long do I wait before offering food?

    3. I understand some are gonna be salmons, salmon pastels, pastels, all 50% albino right?

    4. once I determine what they are, where can i find out what they're worth. like what is a salmon pastel worth?

    thanks!

    also, she has been "roaming" which i read somewhere that they do before giving birth. I also read that they'll poop first?....do they always poop first or can she give birth without it? thanks!

    Re: new boas! a couple questions

    Im No boa expert but i know that when a female is 100% DONE giving birth, you should remove her immediately to prevent her from crushing the babies... Then i believe you wait until the babies come out of their yolk sacs... Im not sure if this happens right away, or if it takes a little time, but i'm sure it happens soon after being born... After all of that, i would wash them off and house them separately on moist paper towels... Wait until after their first shed to feed them..

    Hope this help a little...
