Double "D" Reptiles
You need to do some researcj

Don't take this as a flame (personal attack) or anything, because it's actually a common thing that happens often with people new to breeding reptiles. But, you probably should have done more research about boas prior to getting them as adults and putting them in a position to be able to breed.

What you have described sounds like you witnessed her ovulating after breeding and the swelling you describe should go away in just a short time. Now, you've got some time to wait and feed her well along the way because it's very likely that you'll be having little boas around June or so (can't remember much more than to estimate 160 to 180 days approximately.) She'll need to have some rather specific requirements as far as cage conditions that I'm sure you will find as you research what you should do now.

Good luck.
