Gravid Rosy boa question

I have a female Coastal Rosy boa, that I believe is gravid. I came

home from work yesterday and there was some 'goo' in her cage (mucus

consistency). I assume it was some type of undeveloped embryo or

unfertilized egg material. I'm leaning towards undeveloped embryo

because I could make out what I believe were red veins in the 'goo'.

I kept peaking in on her to see if she passed anything else, or gave

birth, but she never did. She was doing a fair amount of slow

wriggling starting mid-body going towards the vent, which led me to

believe she was in labor. She did NOT shed prior to this event. She

is still very pregnant looking.



Has anyone ever seen anything like this? I am excited about my first

litter of babies, but I'm also concerned for my female's health.



Any and all input and responses are very appreciated.
