Is it true that a boa will shead just before giving birth? When she does give birth anything special have to be done to help the babbies?Ive noticed the mass of babbies has started to move down and her eyes have started to cloud up.

Although Boas may shed before birth, it's not a shed to look for. I mean it doesn't mean anything except that she needs to shed. Not all Boas have a shed just prior to birth. The shed to look for and count from is the one just after she ovulates, Boas almost always have the post ovulation shed.
