No!
It's best to follow a quarentine procedure with any new additions.( At least 30 - 90 days and only together for the mating.)
No need to lose all of them due to a newly introduced illness.

It depends... how much do you figure you'll have to save for an incubator, and how long will it take you to save that amount?
You can get a good, entry-level incubator for $30-40, but I wouldn't breed them until you are prepared for the eggs.
Also, as Eddie said, you realy should consider quarantining the male before you introduce him to your females. It's difficult to breed animals if they're sick or dead.
BTW- welcome to redtailboa.net.

True but it does reduce the amount of fighting between them for mating rights. Plus then you can put them in cute permanent poses and they will stand still for pictures then too.lol
All kidding aside definately quarentine. And good luck with the future breeding.
