No silly, not most bci's.... You're so funny!! In utero (in egg-ero for our egg laying friends?) the default sex is female unless and until hormones are released by the mother. So, we all start off as females... I'm sure this is the same for boas. If not, I'll still call it a she because GIRLZ RULE!!!!!

Thanks Edie, I'm just hoping that it's not too much information...
Sherri, I don't want to scare you away or make you think that you'll need to sell one of your kids in order to afford this act of kindness. I won't lie either- the initial set-up will make you think you need to sell one of your kids But after the cage and heat source and t'stat, everything else is just nickel and dime. Also, you can buy rats on-line in bulk in various sizes and that helps with the cost. I really like The Mouse Factory (http://www.themousefactory.com/rates/rates.html) but I have so many snakes that I went with Big Cheese (http://www.bigcheeserodents.com/Pricing.html) this time--- Ugh, a very far second to the Mouse Factory
