Have you had her with a male and seen copulation? Boas will shed for many reasons. One being if they are sick. Another reason could be she had a large meal. And yes she could be having a POS as well. Did you see her ovulate?

lol. i messed up.would that posiibly be a pre ovulation shed? i remember reading somewhere that a female will shed before emitting her smells to get the males rialed up, how true it is i don't know. no i havent had her with my male but i heard they can retain sperm. i never feed my boas to large a meal. you can barley see it when they eat. i did have to get her out twice to aply mite removing medicine to her and the cage, and she isnt the most willing boa in the world either.
cheers.
