Is this the waxy Stool?

Could be. It would be the portion toward the front. The round chunk in the rear is a solidified urate. I suspect the "waxy stool" is actually a semen plug. That could be it. Is your Boa just about due?

Good luck!

Then we Concur Dr. Ronne , the Waxy stool is a presentation of the "Mucosal Plug"
but not actually a semen plug

In Homo sapiens:
[Q]:
Cervix
Cervical mucus:
During pregnancy the cervix is blocked by a special antibacterial
mucosal plug which prevents infection, somewhat similar to its
state during the infertile portion of the menstrual cycle. The
mucus plug comes out as the cervix dilates in labor or
shortly before.[/Q]

I thought the "waxy stool" was just the last poo they did before delivering their young. So, yes, that very possibly is a waxy stool.

From what I've hear and read...It's sort of the female's way of clearing out any old fecal matter from her system. This last poo can be anything from a solid poop to what you've posted in your picture. Most times this last poo is heavy in mucus. The females make this last effort to clear their systems and make way for the babies....That way the babies would be born in a relatively clean enviroment, free of fecal waste.

Well..... in the wild they'd be free of fecal waste.

That's not always the case in captivity.
