I have in front of me, a book called "The Boa Constrictor Manual" written by Jeff Ronne of the Boaphile.

a quote from the book about the Post-ovulation-shed-

"After the final ovulation, I raise the cage temperature to 84-85 degrees F. Approximately 5 days later, the female will go into a shed cycle which I call the 'post ovulation shed' cycle.
The shed cycle which follows ovulation is a little different from most shed cycles in that it takes longer than normal or 16-23 days."

Hope this answers your question
