exactly, I said probably not, not definately not. It's typical for boa's to stop or significantly reduce feeding during pregnancy. For each one that does eat some there are probably dozens that mostly stop and for the rare one that eats like normal I would venture to guess there are hundreds that basically stop eating.


Again, if she's eating normally, then "probably" not gravid. Watch and check her carefully, if you can see skin between the scales, then she's either fat or gravid. Fat is "usually" all over, not just mid body.


Your pic through a screen top is not that clear. I can't tell if her skin is all stretched out. Don't know how she normally looks either.
