Red tail boa breeding and age

[I-KandyReptiles]

Thanks for the info! So if age is not a concern then how about territory? I understand all interaction should be supervised but do females usually allow a male into their tank with them without an issue? Looks like we may be getting a new addition to our home soon ( a male!) I'm guessing he will need proper time to adjust before being introduced as well... Would keeping the cages close to each other make the other aware of the others presence?

We usually live feed in her cage and you mentioned yours only fed twice in 6 months (wow!) is that because the snake just really isn't interested in food during the pregnancy?

If you get a male, please properly quarantine him for a LONG time before bringing him near your females. With boas, some will recommend even a year quarantine!

I haven't had issues with introducing male snakes to females. If you're worried, keep an eye on them when you introduce them, but I think it would be fine.

I've only breed ball pythons, but it seems that once they become gravid, they're not too interested in food.
