Boa Constrictors are Ovoviviparous, or "Live-Bearing" Snakes. Baby boas are born live. This is in contrast to the majority of all other snakes, which are egg laying. This aspect of husbandry requires even greater care while a female boa is gravid or pregnant. We must ensure proper husbandry during this stressful time for the female.
Unfertilized ova will result in an orange, sweet potato looking "slug". Some slugs are often common during the boa constrictor parturition (birthing process).

| | Regular Member | | | | | Kenshin,- Yeah QLD, she was on pre-lay shed when pic taken, real bad pic as well. Shes normally a lot ligther than most NT bhs Ive seen with intense red bands. The only black on her,(excuding her head, Is a perfect spot on the top of each band. You can see them in pic but like I said its a crapy pic. To tell you the truth probally some of the uglyest bhs ive seen have come from the NT and some of the nicest from QLD. But youll get both from both states.

They are quite a unique looking snake compared to most locaities of boa's.
Brings back memories, seeing that picture! LOL! |
