She will if she's good and ready. But you need to know that a male can be all into her, but she may not have the same idea. I've had a male court a female for three months in the past, and nothing came of it. Cooling won't cause her to ovulate. We cannot make them ovulate. All we can do is try to create suitable conditions and hope for the best. Boa breeding is more of a bonus rather than expectant, unless you have hundreds of breeders. The best thing we can do is leave them alone, without checking on them 4 times a day. All of our comotion is probably their biggest hinderence. If they don't have their own quiet room, then maybe cover the front of their cage . A male can court for months, so be patient. D
