Thats an interesting video...It almost looked like it was gonna regurge..I've seen this once before with a snake at a pet shop that my buddy used to manage. the boa was being bred but the out come wasnt good.The snake at the pet shop had a bad R.I. and wound up dyeing.The pet shop boa was worse though,It was thrashing its head around and drooling and folding itself in half.It could be an ovulation but I cant say for sure as I have never witnessed one in my own snakes.
