Boa Breeding?

Am I too late?

I have not introduced my male with my female yet. I have not started to cool either. I feed both of them two days ago. When should I start cooling, and when should I introduce them? I thought that boa breeding season coincided with ball python breeding season. After searching thought the site, it seems boa season started in September. :tears:

Thanks.

Im dropping my rack temp Now. Gonna start introducing later this month, once my temps get down.


A good friend of mine said that you lower the rack a few degrees every week untill your at or below 85. I have read that Imperators will breed with as little as 12% temp change.


Check out rio bravo, they have some good tips.

Thanks Patrick, how does this sound?

At this point my hot spot on my female is set to 92 F day and night.

Now, set day temp 3F lower and start night drop 10F lower.
Lower both day and night temps by 3F every 7 days.
End on October 27th. (temp will now be 80F day / 70F night)
Introduce male into female’s enclosure on November 1st
