I'm Looking to Breed My Red Tails

I was wondering if someone could give me information on this process?
I was told to bring the temp down for 4 weeks, let them set for 2 and them bring them back up for 4 weeks. Then they would breed. But I don't know much about this so any help would be great.

Re: I'm Looking to Breed My Red Tails

Here's a link to the Jeff Ronne Boaphile article on breeding boas. It was written in 1996, but he also has a video with more detailed information. It would probably be worth getting this guy's video if you are really serious about breeding. He seems to know his stuff. (He also makes really nice enclosures.

I wanted to thank you. I have looked at that and I'm trying to get all the information I can get; that way I don't miss anything, because the snakes I'm going to breed are my babies.

Re: I'm Looking to Breed My Red Tails

You're welcome. I'm sure there are some good books on breeding boas as well. That guy seems to have a lot of experience, but I'm sure there are other good sources of info as well.
It's definitely worth doing your research beforehand: make sure the female is in top health, old enough and has enough weight on her. It takes a lot of reserves out of the female; especially for live-bearing species.
Good luck with everything!

Re: I'm Looking to Breed My Red Tails

She's very very healthy. We just had a vet check because I won't risk one of my babies. But I can't wait till the time comes (if we make it that far) to get the babies. She is 100% het for albino and he is 100 % snow. So there is no telling what will be the outcome. I'm only expecting normal -- that way I'm not disappointed. LOL. I will love them all.........
