Well prior to breeding any thing you must first be able to deal with the out come of breeding AKA offspring. Boas give birth to large litters of pups.
You'll first need to be able to feed and house an additional (insert number of babies here) for at least a month or more.
Breeding isn't hard but the keeping is. :D
Best of luck. Id suggest doing loads of research prior to even thinking about breeding then decide if that what you want to do. There nothing wrong with just enjoying the two you have for a while then deciding.
Best of luck

As I said before in the BP thread breeding means research, while many people here will gladly help you, YOU need to do your own research and than come back with specific questions.
And also same as BP breeding you need to think about the following.
Quote:
Do you have the time and space to breed?
Can you individually house a X number of hatchlings?
Will you buy or build a rack?
Can you provide for an X number of hatchlings?
What is your plan when it come to selling those hatchlings, are you prepared to keep them all if they don’t sell?
Do you know how to start hatchling?
Do you have a source that will provide you will live rat crawlers or hopper mice for you hatchling, or are you prepared to breed your own feeders?
etc.
My :2cent: Seems to me that you are getting involve with various species wanted to breed them all yet knowing very little about breeding maybe you need to give it time and not get over your head, try to focus on one project at the time learn everything you can about it before moving on to another one.You are young and you have time

I'm happy to see that you're reading things online and checking out books from the library. That's above and beyond what some people would do. I certainly do hope you're prepared for the outcome :gj:
