 Possibly gravid female rtb need help!!!

i recently adopted 2 Colombian red tail boas and was told that they had been copulating about a month or two ago now the female has started acting strangely for the first week she was fine but since last night she has totally rearranged her cage and is now buried under the substrate. cage temps are 80 on the cool side with a basking spot of 90 on the warm side humidity is 50 to 60 percent all the time please tell me what is going on were we lied to about when she was bred is she gonna drop babies soon if not what do we look for before she has a clutch

other info
she is 7 to 8 feet long and 7 yrs old
she has had 3 clutches prior to us getting her
she had a bowel movement 4 days ago
and ate 2 XL rats 3 days ago

her mate is 6 1/2 feet long and 11 yrs old
right now they are in the same cage as we are building 2 new enclosures for them and waiting for the custom cut 3/4 inch thick plexiglass to come in so we can finish the cages up

any help would be great as we have never bred before and other than basic care have not found much info on the internet
