    Keep us posted, you never know. I had an older desert rosy boa many years back that was never with a male snake & had one live (sadly defective) neonate
    the first summer after she came to live with me. She'd produced slugs in the past, when she was kept by a local nature museum. She'd been very stressed
    there -kept in a 2' x 2' cage with 2 other female rosies & had rarely eaten for the last couple years...that's why they gave her to me. I offered suggestions
    for improvements to their snake/reptile techniques (they weren't kept warm enough & regurged their meals so often that the staff thought that was "normal"!).
    They knew she'd be in better hands with me, & she went on to reproduce extremely well in subsequent years, while the 2 poor snakes they kept died about a
    year later from a nasty infection. Anyway, the female rosy boa that came home with me was past "middle age" for her species, just as your BP is at age 24...
    so never think it can't happen.
