Gravid boa has little slugs...advice needed

[ilovemylizard]

My gravid female boa is on day 129 post ovulation. I had to count from the ovulation because she didn't shed until two months after this. She has been in HCP coil most of this time, and temps were correct with a 91F hot spot.

In mid July, she moved her weight all down in her last half.

On July 30th, she passed her waxy stool.

Then, two days ago on August 14th, she dropped this weird looking thing...I have been told by a number of people on another forum that these are most likely little slugs. This is my first boa breeding so I have no idea.


The thing is, she is still huge...you can see the entire last half of her body is crammed full.


Should I be concerned at this point, considering how overdue she is? She is not pushing with her body or showing any signs of distress, mostly she just lays still on one side or the other of the cage.
Is it possible the little slugs were just a few bad ones and she still has babies?
At what point do I need to get worried?
Any help appreciated, thanks!

If you are counting from ovulation date then she isn't over due. They usually go 125 days post ovulation and 105 days POS. If you are only four days past then you are still on schedule. She has that BCC in her and they usually go a couple of weeks past that 105 POS deal. Keep us posted and good luck

Thanks Dank...I guess I'm just freaking out because this is my first time through this...

I'm watching her really carefully, and I've been misting her several times a day...

I hope it won't be much longer

Those don't look like slugs to me, slugs from a boa that size would be orange and the size of small chicken eggs. Looks more like the waxy feces which is usually dropped to make room for the babies moving down.

Keeping my fingers crossed for a healthy delivery. Please keep us posted!
