cheers stu, I have spoken to several people who's females were grown on as a normal BCI would be, and at parturition a lot were dying. When a PM was done the orgas were not as developed as they should have been, as in they belonged to a smaller snake! And this was a regular occurence so a lot of the breeders are growing on the females a lot slower due to this!

Hope that helps

Peter

Cheers for that Pete..wouldn't that be the findings with any boa/snake that has been powerfed to get it up to breeding size?

Lovely snakes, I do like Boas when albino, it seems to suit them.
Interesting about the over feeding too.
