Reabsorbtion can only occur in the ovary, so once a female has ovulated it can no longer resorb a litter. After ovulation, you either get babies, slugs or surgery. What you probably observed was the follicles swelling in the ovary that usually, but not always, preceeds ovulation.

It can take several months for resorbtion to be completed. It is easier to follow in sand boas or very small boa constrictors where you can manually palpate them and feel the follicles. A couple of my Eryx johnii are doing it right now. Very disappointing.
