Could still be an injury, but if it's broken ribs it is many of them. a single broken rib would be a very small bump compared to your pics. There could be swelling tho. Did it get bigger from the time you opened the box? Regardless you need to get that boa to a vet or return it to the seller. They should pay for the vet bill if you keep the boa or take it back. Personally it sounds cold but I would return the boa, unless it is a very special one of a kind.



Sorry to hear about your new boa.
