Gravid?? 
I picked up 3 boas about 2 weeks ago. I was told they were 1.2, but haven’t checked. I was told the 2 females are proven. The male and the smaller female (6-7 ft) were kept together. The guy who had them said he had them a few months. I of course separated them immediately. The smaller female looked a little thin to me, so I went ahead and fed her before letting her settle in. I only had a small-med rat, so it was just a snack for her. They were only being provided with heat lights, so I got them all heat pads. Anyways, now the smaller female has gotten fat, really fat within the past few days. She is so fat, you can barely see her spine. She looks like a blimp, lol. She also spends all her time on the heat pad, day and night. And she has an attitude. She was really calm before. The guy I got her from actually wasn’t terrified of her like he was the other female. He held her all the time, yet now she will move her head to where ever I move around her cage. If you touch her, she hisses. She is really dark, even darker than the nics I used to have. He claims she has always been that dark though. I am thinking possibly gravid or maybe ovulation? I have only dealt with boas being gravid once, and that was a pair of nics I got from a friend that were already bred when I got them and I never knew it until I found little boas. She still has an appetite, but is slow to take her food. I am used to boas grabbing food like it is their last meal, she is really calm about taking a rat.
