She just had a litter on 1-27-09. She should not be ovulating I wouldn't think.
I'd be more worried about this position she's in.
I think she needs a herp vet and an ultra sound plus blood work etc...

This is not the pre-ovulation twist. The twist does not involve laying on the side as I have described it. This animal is relaxed laying on her side. Boas doing the twist are tense, not relaxed. I haven't seen one do it while opaque either or only tow months after giving birth.
My experience has been that I have seen many Boas lean over sideways like that. Especially females that have lost a lot of weight after giving birth. If she is eating well, I don't think that is anything to worry about. It's pretty common for Boas around here anyhow.

Thanks for clarifying Jeff I've seen fems do this side ways lean when gravid (actually unfertilized ova,lol).
I have never noticed a girl lay like this after giving up her load.
Often fems who did not fair well looked liked this days or hours
before a serious problem.
