It is up to you, I wouldn't keep 9 nine snakes at a time though.


I accidentally froze all my ants

What type of boas? Don't keep too many of the large ones. You'll become broke in no time with 11 redtail-sized boas.

so my boas had sex and the female layed eggs, i have a clutch of 5; sould i sell them or keep them and have 9 snakes

 

I'd sell them if you can't take care of them. It really just depends on what you think. I would only consider it non-moral to kill them.

Okay, so if a snake hid with their mom, let them be for now. What kind of boa had babies?

Ask for one during the holidays from your parents. I'm pretty sure that the ant-keeping is a blackhole that sucks in money and leaves nothing behind.

OMG YOU'RE RIGHT

Maybe Hunter got ripped off and got a classic corn snake instead of a boa.

Thank you :D! I guess I was a present for my parents. My birth date wasn't even planned, b/c I was born early.

also along this line the eggs are located inside the mothers body and come out seemingly alive but where really in a egg, as this is why i can't get a pic.

All live-bearing animals do this, even humans. You did not say that you had a sand boa in your boa list above.

All boas are considered live bearing due the young being incubated inside the mothers body.However that being said you can broadly say that they do produce eggs. which are retained in the body, gee kind of like humans do.
