yes, males often stop feed when female come into heat and females often stop feeding during breeding season and wont eat again tell they give birth. I have males that stop feeding for 7 months and have gone as long as 11 months with little weight loss. don't worry unless your boas start lossing a lot of weight or muscle mass.
