If either the male or female go into shed in most cases I have seen that will interrupt the advances of the male,I take this opportunity to seperate them and feed both.I understand this is not the case in all Boas,I have actually heard of a male breeding a female while she was actually removing her skin.Bottom line if the male looks good(no sagging skin etc.)appears to breed with gusto then I say let them have thier fun when he is done he will move off.The last thing I would want is to see my female dying with a belly full of slugs.You really ought to understand that breeding is risky for your animals.My male albino got hammered this year by a female that was tired of his advances.took him almost three months just to get started but when he started he didnt climb back off for a full 15 days I witnessed what I thought to be copulation more than once a day for the entire period.Then he got off on day 16.On the 16th night I got in from work was watching the news and heard her hit him.I was fortunate enough to be right thereor she would have killed him.Sorry so long!Hope this helps!JOHN
