My pick of the litter!
I don't know if i will end up with her [breeder loan] but this one is my favorite.

came out darker in this picture than she usually is, but I just LOVE the tail!
This one is also showing some striping.

only 3 days old, but so active and dropped their cords. Should i wait until they shed to sex? Is probing the only way for boas? I'm very experienced in popping balls, but never tried it on a boa.
Thanks for looking!

Re: My pick of the litter!
Oooh I love that second one! The pattern is pretty neat; the way those dark triangles connect the saddles is cool. The pattern might stretch out as the boa grows, though. The striping is caused by exposure to lower temperatures in the later stages of pregnancy, according to a book I bought.
I don't know very much about sexing, but I think you could try popping since you're experienced, I guess just try more gently.

Very nice i definately love that second one. Might be the angle but the second one looks thicker than the first. Nonetheless I want one!

That's interesting. She didn't go into a heat coil before giving birth, so i was told my temps were perfect.

Yes, the second one is 20 grams heavier. I gave the ones born with some a day or two to finish, but some didn't.
