It's a little quiet here at the moment Susan. Give it a little time, we have some boa experts on hand that will be happy to assist you.

While I haven't bred boas i have bred pythons and what your saying sounds normal minus the moving, since babies aren't in eggs that could be why.
Make sure you don't handle your boa until she lays because its just allot of unneeded stress

I don't know if this information is valid because again i haven't bred boas but it doesn't sound like something i would worry about while waiting for an answer from an expert on the forums.
Good luck.

Hi!! Sounds like you may be having some babies!!

Have you seen a nasty gooey type of poop anywhere in her cage?? thats the plug it usually comes out before her birth a lot like women do

this is the "pre-waxy stool" and it looks like it sounds. this should show up 2-3 days before birth. you will notice her being really restless and active for 1-7 days while the mass moves down her body. If she looks really under weight in her top half that usually means she is well done and will have a big healthy litter. She will stretch out as much as possible usually on the cold end. You will see her go out in a S shape and you will see contractions begin.
