Joe is an expert and you should take his advice seriously..
.
But let me offer an alternative (possible) diagnosis.. Heavy female boas that are in ovulation or already gravid very often display serious fear of falling.. SERIOUS fear of falling. Almost as if they will burst open if dropped. This is very exagerrated in first-time moms and especially if they are heavy and usually kept in a small cage. The symptoms you describe are not far off of what I have seen in normal females that are in perfect health and go on to deliver good litters.
.
I suggest you follow the advice you've been given and also "PUT THAT BOA DOWN AND DON"T PARADE IT AROUND AGAIN WHILE IT IS PREGNANT" LOL..
.
Good luck.
