Gravid or not?

[Clyde]

I have a female redtail boa that was bred this season, missed the ovulation. Today I witnessed my female redtail in her water dish lying on her side in shed mode. Is this a sign of her being gravid or do females do this from time to time? The temp in the cage is 83 on the cool side and 89 degree on the hot end. Thanks in advance.

Hmm... I would say it is a possible sign of her being gravid, or even possibly getting ready for her post ovulation shed.. Although I have bred many pythons I haven't had much success with boa constrictors up to this point.. My guess seeing how she is lying on her side is that she could be gravid or getting ready too.

Good luck with her, I hope she is and she drops healthy beautiful neos for ya..
