So you have 2 boas, you thought they were both female. Turns out one is a male. You want to know if the female is gravid (pregnant)?

Well, for it to even be possible for them to breed, the male would have to be 3ft or 18 months old, the female would have to be 6 ft and 3 years old.
They may have to be cooled down, and it's slightly past the usual breeding season for boas.
So unless you boa female is 6 ft, I wouldnt worry.

I doubt you have anything to worry about. She has to first be courted, which can take a month or more, then she has to ovulate. Then they have to lock up. I doubt that in two weeks they accomplished all that. You never know, but I wouldnt worry. They say that if you try to breed 3 pairs of boas, and you get 2 pairs to actually breed, youre fortunate. I went 0-3 this year and will have no babies. I think you'll be fine.
