Yes it does, will be interesting to see after a shed.

Post us some pics after they shed for sure!! You got a few lookers in that bunch. Wish I could take any more snakes in for a while.......Want my shipping adress just incase? lol j/k of course

They look perfect - nice and plump. =) Congrats! Give that momma a well deserved ratty!

Very pretty baby boas! :D

Isn't it fun finding a pile of boas when you get home?

Those are some nice baby boas, congrats!!
Can't wait to see some after shed pics after 10 days or so!

Awesome!!! Now, how 'bout some pics of the parents?

Thanks everyone!!!! It was really exciting!!! When my girlfriend Amy looked into the cage she started shaking and I thought I was gonna have to catch her... LOL!!! #4 and #5 are on hold for someone already and the pics of the parents are here http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=30984

#16 is also on hold. :)

congrats! what a gorgeous bunch of babies. looking forward to post shed photos! :)

Its very cool!!!!! :D

very nice! what a great surprise!!!

I hope sometime in the near future I can come home to this. Coming home to Leo eggs was enough of a shock for me. I couldn't imagine coming home to baby boas!!!

#4 shed today!!!

Then right after the photo shoot she took her first meal!!! :sweeet:

Oohhhhh, what a pretty little gem!!

wow! somehow i missed this thread completely!!!!

i'll take a gander and asume that redtails give birth to live young? that must rock.

is the gestatoin period longer for redtails than for boas that give birth to eggs? like do they have to make up the time inside the mother?

ahem..bump

Yes, boas have live birth.

Essentially boas carry their young through the entire development stage instead of laying eggs. :)

ok cool, but my i'm still not clear. for example lets say that it like 55 days after a python lays eggs they hatch. does a boa carry those eggs for an extra 55 days or are the two processes entirely disimiliar?

Ball Pythons: ovulate - 17 days later (+ or -) will shed, 30 days later (+ or -) will lay eggs, 60 days later (+ or -) eggs will hatch.

Boas: Ovulate - 17 days later (+ or -) will shed, 105 days later (+ or -) will give birth.


These number will vary from different breeders sites etc, but this gives you a general idea. :)

alright. thanks. i got it now.
