Female boas will shed 17-23 days after they ovulate. You can expect parturition(birthing) to take place 100-110 days later depending on how warm you keep her enclosure. Warmer temps = shorter gestation. Gravid females require slightly warmer temps. 84 cool side --- 90 hotspot If you use these temps you can expect parturition at 105 days after the post ovulation shed.
