Boas sold as Papuan Ground Boas are often Viper boas. I am sure that's what you have, based on your description of it being nippy.

Jerry Conway has the bible of Candoia with everything you need to know here:

As for the white film and soaking, can you describe the "film" in more detail? It could be a mite problem, Candoia love to soak when they have mites...
