Default urgent boa help

our female hogg island is starting to act really weird yesterday. i'll give you a bit of history first we got her in august and she had been in with a male for a while. we got her and she weighed over 2kg a few weeks later we weighed her again and she had gone upto 4.5kg. a few days later she turned really funny with my wife as in my wife could walk past her viv and she would strike out. even when she is out my wife cant go near her.She has become alot fatter. She was seen ovulating by her previous owner. With talks to him we calculated as he could not remember the exact date if she is gravid she would be due any where from 04/11-07/11. In 14 weeks she has shed for us twice. Yesterday when we went into check on her she was in her cool end but her body temp had gone up really hot. and her body had ballooned out. She also kept out twitching her tail. Has any one got any ideas on whether they think she is gravid and any other advice on when it could be or the normal behaviour of a boa before they give birth thanks

i think shes gravid tbh sounds like it

have found that the snakes get abit of a attitude when theyre about to have the babies, as with most others

but havent bred boas so...

would just keep and eye on her

thanks one of other females has gone exactly the same but it's when I touched her belly she decided to try and tag me. and she has just shed for the second time in 2months and has decided to take up home in her water bowl which she never does and she has cleared a space as well
