Default Gravid boa

my boa is getting bigger and bigger by the week, she is showing all the sign, off her food, hogging the heat, tight or loose coil etc
But when should i expect the babies? she shed about 2 months ago but everything i read seems to say different lengths of time?
Plus can anyone give me any tips as this is the first time we have bread her

if she is gravid you want the hot spot about 90-92 and it should be 105 days from when she shed give or take a week or 2

if you can put a laying tub in there or some from of shelf it usually helps them give birth as they hang there tails over it

there is a lot of different information on this some say 105 day after pos and on some sites say between 120 to 150 days after pos
and some have gone even longer

it be useful to do a survey from boa breeders on how many days after pos they lay and see what the average is
