I had a pair lock up several times over the last few weeks. He eventually lost interest. She has been sitting curled up under the heat source for a week now. She is extremely dark, and looks like she is going to shed. This sounds like the signs I've read about in this forum that she is gravid, but I'm new to breeding these boas.

If she is gravid, how long after she sheds should she give birth?

Thanks!

Sounds like your on the way. The post ovalation shed will be next. Then it will be about 105 days or in that week. If you get a rainy day around then that's when it will happen.

When you get that pile of slimey worms!!

Seriously, idications are she may be gravid. But even if all indications are good and you see all the right signs at all the right times, never a gauranty of babies. I've had obviously gravid BRB's slug out. Like you I'm new to BCI's as well and I hear they are just as unpredictable, maybe even more so than my BRB's.

This is the true sign she was gravid:
