I have a female that has followed a similar pattern as Linda's boa. She had swelling from follicles developing and I witnessed copulation and took this pic....

They continued to court for a couple weeks after this pic and stopped. She looked more swollen and on a couple occassions I thought I saw a larger swelling that could possibly be ovulation but she did not shed afterwards. Now she has thinned down and only appears slightly swollen. I am guessing that she is not gravid and is reabsorbing and I will have to try again next year.
