should be no problem... you had them both the same amount of time ... not related are they (both 5 both same length?)

as long as your sure... u can breed boas anytime throughout the year... whenever there is a drop in temps at night.. wich in most places using lights is every night.. winter just helps

if you need any more info on breeding boas.. gaz - sharpman or casrisma02uk are good sources of info

peace

James
