Yep. Jeff Ronne, the Boaphile (he's also here on the forum) has written numerous times that his boas will mate and produce litters all through the year, and he's in Minnesota, where there are cold winters but normal summers.
Other breeders have also had success year-round, but it seems most breeding takes place in the winter. I imagine the light cycle is more important than temperatures... but people have success breeding boas if they have temps remain the same... some also have good luck cooling them, and some have better luck when they RAISE the temps. Who knows what the right formula is? Definitely not an exact science.
