I'm not sure if there IS a definitive answer to this. As all animals, each one may be unique and what is true for one may not be true for another.
I would think a lot of factors would play a role - the health of the animal, if it was 'powerfed' early on, how many clutches has it already had/how often. those types of things.
These are long lived animals, I have a 20 yr old boa that is currently gravid.
I would say if under 15, I wouldn't see any issue. Older than that I'd say it probably depends on the animal and care it's had.
