Are you familiar with breeding cats & dogs? If so, you would know that they get pregnant & have litters. They are also born in a membrane sack! Yep, if it does not break in the birth canal, they are in sack. The same thing happens with boas. Now, I am unsure if this sack serves the same purpose in each species. Do you still think the proper term is gravid?
