should one wait until both snakes have defecated before introducing the pair for breeding purposes?

No.

Now for a question. Why do you want to know if you should wait for them both to deficate? I'm asking, because boas don't stop deficating just because they're together for breeding purposes.

well if something is in the way then something might not be able to get in (or out). makes sense to me.

LOL...
I don't think it works that way. I don't think snakes put something in where something might come out.

ha ha ha that was tactful LOL I was trying to figure out how to say the same without beeing totally crass.

Yeah, it took me a minute to figure out how to word it. I tired to be as tactful as possible.

okay so you got a good laugh. glad to have added a bit of humor to your day. but to a person like me that doesnt know the entire anatomy head to tail inside and out of a snake, the one area is used for both mating and removal of waste. so while the actual waste product may come out of a different area, i would prefer to err on the side of caution and assume they come from the same hole. i mean, look at it this way. if the sex organs of a human female were in her anus, dont you think she would want to use the bathroom before having sex?

In "nature" boas breed just fine without any assistance from humans. SO.........

You don't really need to know the anatomy of a snake from head to tail. Snakes "know" their own anatomy. They know how things work and they've done their thing quite well over the ages. Regardless of what goes where/why or how..... Well, they seem to get it right all on their own. We really don't need to concern our selves about the matter. Trust your boas. They know what they're doing.

All you need to know is that you have a male and an female. They need to be healthy and an appropriate age/size. Give them the temps/food/water and clean cage/s they need. Put them together and they'll do the rest.

I'll be looking forward to seeing pictures of those babies next year.
