I have the same problem! I'm usually gone 3-4 days/nights per week. Did you properly cycle them prior to seeing the courtship activity? Ground Boas are famous for copulating..w/no end results. Same w/my Sanzinia. Unless properly cycled neither adult will develop those particulars necessary for the ultimate goal (viable semen, ovum). My male Mad. Ground Boa keeps attacking and constricting the female when introduced so I have a whole other set of problems to deal with!

As an example my Sanzinia need to get into the 50s for proper cycling.not for the faint of heart. I don't drop the Ground Boas quite that drastically but aim for the mid 60s for a few hours each night..w/a good warm-up for 4-5 hours per day.
