like she could be. Just keep watching and if you put the male back in and he isn't interested another good sign. She should also maintain 86-88 degrees farenheit if you have a temp gun. Good luck!

Yes, that looks like a Boa in the Heat Conservation position. This position is normally taken like that on the heat, except when the heat is not on. Then it can be anywhere in the cage. Is your heat on the left side of the cage?
