You can try putting him in a sack made out of material with a damp cloth that he can rub against. Sometime this helps.

When Colleen said sack she is talking abut a wet pillowcase. Put a wet towel and the snake in the pillowcase, knot it, and leave it in the enclosure overnight. The extra moisture and the snake moving against he roughness of the towel should solve the problem.

Ok you caught me, I don't know what size a rainbow boa is...I was afraid to say pillowcase incase the snake wouldn't fit inside. LOL My common had to have a custom case out of material made as he won't fit in a pillowcase.

you dont need airholes int he pillow case....your snake may try to go trough them and get stuck. they will get air through the pillow case.

Nate's right even wet cloth will allow enough air to pass thru. I have used this technique many times.
LOL! Colleen. Rainbows aren't quite as large as your common boa.
