This is a 2010 virgin female common boa (DH Snow).

She'd been with the male since August and had countless lockups. He became disinterested and trying to escape the cage since the end of November so I pulled him (plus he really needed a break to gain back some weight). She was hugging the heat pretty good then had what appeared to be an Ovulation on 12/26. I put the male back in with her just in case but he wanted nothing to do with her so I pulled him after two days. She had a POS on 1/9 and has coiled up under the heat since New Years without budging.

I checked on her a few days ago and she was sprawled alongside the enclosure with zero swelling. She hasn't refused a meal either. I did put the male back in with her just to see what would happen but haven't seen any kind of action. What do you think?

Its possible if youve seen several good locks. Has she been laying funny at all on her side or anything like that? Make sure to maintain proper incubation temps just in case she is that way you wont just end up with a batch of slugs if she does drop a litter.
