This is a fact, look up the definition of Gravid if you dispute it.

Gravid refers to anything that is carrying child.. It is accurate with humans as well.. The medical term used to describe a pregnant woman is Gravida. There ya go.. So it is accurate to use for boas (even though they are live bearing.)

to go a step further, for example, if an animal is gravid with their 4th litter they are Gravida 4.

Later.
