Sounds like a good set up... Just be sure to keep it humid. Rubber Boas are almost always found in moist microclimates within their range. Misting the cage once a day should be sufficient.

It's not necessary, but most Rubber Boas will refuse to eat during the winter and sort of hibernate on their own. For the sake of simplicity, you should probably just continue to hibernate her.

Yes.
