It's day 108 now!

[Big Gunns]

I was all set to take her to the vet today. I don't usually get home till about 9am Eastern time from work, and when I walked in and looked in at her, I honestly saw no reason to yank her out, bin her up, truck her out in the cold weather and have a vet look at her. She was alert and very curious as to what I was doing. I opened her cage and moved her around a little bit, gently of course, and she was fine with it. No whipping away or anything, which is what gravid mothers usually do when they are under discomfort. I think, for some unknown reason, that she is just defying the 104 day gestation period and also going on the second shed date, instead of the first (which is the norm too). I just can't shake the idea of dragging her to the vet being the worst possible idea at this time. Right now her rear end is swollen and she's slimmed down, which is a good sign the time is coming for her to drop. She seems to be on the same schedule as the boa above her, lol. Her due date is today and she's doing the same thing, but she's WAY more alert right now, I opened her cage to peer in and she just about came all the way out because she was so curious as to why I would open her cage, lol. We'll all just have to wait a little while longer I'm afraid. Sorry to disappoint you all, but just think how I feel!

You really need to leave this gravid mother alone. Completely alone, or you are going to get preemies.

You can't go 100% with set gestation periods. A lot of things can affect it. Mainly your temps. I have seen boas go 1 month past 104 days and give a good litter. I have also seen, more often than not, that people have actually thought they had a pos and they did not.

Your best bet is to just leave this girl alone and wait. No extra misting,,NOTHING!!!! If she starts trying to deliver and has problems, then you want to take her to a Vet. There is nothing you can do but wait and LEAVE HER ALONE or you will regret it.
