I have a female boa who is ready to give birth any day now. (104 days after POS) She is also going into a shed cycle. I mean she is full-on in the blue. I have had a few pregnant boas in the past, but I do not remember this happening. My questions are:
Does this happen often?
Is it a sign of her getting ready to give birth, if so, will she do it before or after the shed?
Anything special I should do?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

(the photo of her was taken about 10 days ago, before she started the shed cylce)
