raise that heat up just a bit... make the warm side about 84, which should actually read at about 82, right? If it is a large cage, even a bit higher because the ambient temps will be cooler.

If I remember correctly, a gravid boa is best gestating at about 82.

If she goes to the cool side, you know you went a bit too high.

You would have to go quite a bit higher to hurt the babies, so you have some room to work with.
