Re: My gravid female boa is in shed cycle already
You're not supposed to feed boas when they're gravid. While they're building follicles, sure, but feeding them throughout the "pregnancy" can result in slugs and stillborns.
That said, she looks rather small to be gravid, they should have a big obvious foot ball shape, and she only really looks like she recently ate. So it's possible she's either not gravid or has aborted the pregnancy.
I'm not too knowledgeable on the exact order of events a gravid boa goes through, but I'd say wait it out and see what happens. I would highly recommend getting her to the vet and getting some ultrasounds, if this is a pregnancy gone wrong it could cost her her life. That will also let you know for sure whether she's gravid or not, so you know whether or not you should be worrying.
