Sorry to see such a nice animal pass and I bet the babies would have been awesome. The only thing I see is possibly to much fat present. I have a number of '02 BCI and they now range anywhere from a low of just 4 lbs. to a maximum of 12 lbs. IMHO I think 17 lbs. is a bit to heavy for a three year old and obesity may possibly have been a factor when coupled with the stress of being gravid. From the pics I see a LOT of fat there. I don't mean to criticize your feeding practices but I've read a hundred times if you want to end a boas life prematurely, overfeeding is one of the quickest ways to do it. I may be way off thinking she's to heavy but I've never had a boa get to that weight so fast, but then again I do tend to feed conservatively. One way or another it's to bad you've lost her.
