Yes, they were together the whole time. I have had zero success trying your method of figuring out when they are ready to mate, introducing the male for a month or two, then separating. Had 3 years in a row with no babies, trying very hard to do it that way, lol! I can do it no problem with my colubrids, but these boas aren't as easy to read.

Ever since I've just left them together, they do what they need to do in their own time. I know some say to not leave them together for so long, but I have produced many babies with this method and the male never seems to get in the way of the gestating female or any babies.

Funny thing, the extra 7 babies I found were perfectly nestled in the male's coils.
