If your female will take food it's OK to continue feeding. You just need to keep the meals "small". You should stop offering food 6 weeks before the due date.
My females have always stopped eating while gravid. They take one meal, after the POS. I offer them 1 large rat after the POS. Gestation takes a lot out of a female. That's why I offer half their normal meal after the POS. I also put my boas together fairly early in the season, so I want them to have that extra meal in them.
If my females were to continue eating while gravid, I'd probably cut back to offering them 1 medium rat every 2 weeks. Then I'd stop offering them food 6 weeks before their due date.
