| Nice and simple- How long from mating to laying does it take for baby rainbow boas to be born? |

| The best estimate I have seen is 120 days from post-ovulation shed (POS in shorthand) to birthing, assuming a basking temp of 82-83 degrees throughout. Mating to POS can vary, so any estimate would be useless. |

Indeed. Females can store sperm for a year or two, releasing it when the conditions are most conducive to reproduction, so answering that question is impossible  |

Corr, didn't realise it was such a long time! Although I suppose corns take two months to lay eggs, then two months for those to hatch, so I suppose it's not that crazy. What are the best ways to spot ovulation? Mood swings etc? (I.e. same signs as in women?  ) |

| Haha! Actually, it is very hard to spot a Brazilians's ovulation, as it takes the form of a short swelling. No mood swings of which I am aware. |
