To the best of my knowledge, the single most common reason that a boa constrictor won't eat is because it is too cold.

Can you give more details about the snake and how it is being kept? For example, was the previous owner a private individual or a pet store, and how long was the snake in his possession? That could have a bearing on how stressed out the snake is now. The devil's in the details, and so far the details are pretty sparse.
