Okay... fast typing here as I'm in a huge panic...
My female boa I just bought had just given birth to about 20+ baby boas, I'm confused and scared and dunno what to do.

WOW, get a incubator built asap, you stand to make all of your money back on the purchase of your Boa :)
There was a guide on here somewhere for a self built one, made out of the polystyrene box that you buy bulk frozen foods in, heat mat with small open RUBs suspended an inch or so about the mat. |

PICTURES!
If you notice anything off please let me know as this is all new to me :)
(Things I've changed since the pictures were put up;
1: under the heat lamp the boxes have been moved so the snakes aren't exposed to so much light)
This is box 1 of 2
