This is my first time attempting to breed boas. I have a couple questions. My female has been very receptive, and it seems as if her feeding response is in HIGH gear. EVERY time I walk in the room she is following me and striking at the glass. Granted she has always had a bit of an attitude, but nothing like this. Is this normal during pairing?

Also, if she takes, how do you choose your holdbacks? What do you look for and shy away from? An example of what I'm asking is, in Ball pythons, orange on pastels turn brown age they age. Is there a way to tell if your hypo is going to be more tan/brown vs orange/red? The reason I ask is because I have one female that was gorgeous as a baby, but she has turned more tan than I expected.

Thanks!
