I believe there is a good chance your female is still gravid. Females slim down noticably a week or so before dropping the litter, due to the babies spreading along the birth canal. I have also noticed my own boas that feed through gestation to urinate and deficate prior to brith. This clears any obstructions prior to parturition.
Good luck and keep us posted. You may be very surprised ina few days time. Has she passed the waxy plug yet?
