I keep mine year round together in a 20 gallon tank with screen lid on a UL approved human heat pad on medium, about 89 degrees under their hide... Room temp/cool end varies from 68-80 degrees and I just let mine do their thing, when they want to do it. Now is about the time. I'd send it! Meaning, make an introduction.
Some may differ with my method, but I keep 'boas' together because the male will still court/spur her at any given time, even 30 days before dropping, which I think is stimulating the young to 'wake up' and get ready for departure. lol.
I think a lot of people mess up on that note by separating. To each their own, but I see it often in 'boas' as I've dealt with them for 10 years or so. This applies to BCI's and Rosys' only. May work with others, but I have not worked with others.
