12-48 hrs. for me, but these gals can't read. They often don't so what they are supposed to do according to the manual. LOL I wouldn't freak out just yet. If she gets active soon, that's a good sign. She should start cruising her cage, digging in the substrate looking for a place to depoist her young. I typically crumple a bunch of newspapers for her to dig into. If you notice her trying to pass something over a period of hours, really straining, and nothing comes out and its past the due date, then you might get a little concerned. She could possibly be bound. From my experience, although it isn't rare for a boa to get bound, it's not exactly common, or even likely unless she's bred previously and may have retained and unfertilized ovum from a previous year that is causing some blockage.
If you are only on day 105, I wouldn't be sweating, just still excited with anticipation!
Best of luck,
