Good news, everyone!
I finally had a litter of boas, and they're pretty good ones. Story time. So back in 2010 I picked up an amazing hypo jungle 50% poss het Kahl albino from a local breeder. I picked him out at the reptile show before he had his first shed, made some payments and named him Link. Here's that thread. Some time later, I got a 2008 albino jungle female, Tifa. The perfect mate, right? So I put them together for the 11/12 breeding season, and nothing really happened. I chalked it up to them being young and inexperienced, and tried again the next year. He showed a little more interest this time around, but she never showed an ovulation or any signs of being gravid, and eventually slugged out way later. I was bummed, but it happens. So I gave her a year off, and put the lovely couple back together around December '14. Link was all over her, but again she didn't have an obvious ovulation or POS, never went off food, or showed any signs of being gravid. I think they were separated in March, and I'd given up again.
So fast forward to August. I'm trying to sell my house and everything's been hectic, and I've had to cover over the snakes because of all the showings. So I uncovered the Boaphile stack to do some cleaning and BAM there's a pile of wigglers staring back at me. Enough of my rambling, here are some pictures:
Tifa, 2008 female Kahl albino jungle. I don't have a lot of pictures of her, sue me:
Here's Link, the 2010 hypo jungle definitely not het albino. I have a million pictures of him:
Here are some babies:
I haven't sexed them yet, but I think the breakdown is like:
3 poss jungles
3 jungles
1 hypo
2 hypo jungles
3 hypo super jungles
I will update with individual pics when I get some time. Thanks for looking!
