Dead Gravid Female

that's really sad..

What happend man? That sucks..

The male albino that was breeding this female DblHet. Sunglow died in while breeding her. Most likely from a heartattack. The female died from complications due to all the slugs(unfertilized ova) there really is no telling what exactly happend I did notice when duing the autopsy that there was a large section of pooled blood in the uterus so she most likely had blood vessel rupture due to all the stress from the slugs! I bred boas for a living and have had this happen two other times. Always interesting to see what might have happened inside. Knowledge is the best defense against this kind of thing.

Wow, that sounds like a bad deal:(
On a lighter note, I recently looked through your gallery, you have some very nice looking snakes. Looks like your doing purdy well with your breading program.

I have been a fulltime reptile breeder for the last 8years. I maintain a collection of around 200 animals. In baby season have around 400-500 animals to deal with, but most are sold fairly quickly. This year I had 23 Boa pairings, 5 Blood Python pairings, and a few other surprises. I have worked very hard to get to were I am at, but I am living my dream and wake up almost every morning ready to go to work! We breed all of our rats, that happened more for quality control reasons than anything. Brown's Boas is definitely florishing and doing well. I appreciate all the comments!!! I posted pixs in the Boa Forum on KS to show some of the beginners what the outcome of breeding can be. I had a-lot of positive response.
