Boas need to have night and day. I have never seen a rack that didn't use clear tubs so light could penetrate. You need to make it so the boa gets day and night. I agree your back ground temp should be lower like 82, and your warm side should be 88-90. You didn't say if this is a baby or what size or age. If it's a baby keep handling it and it will calm down. If it's an adult get it into a regular cage. How big/old is your snake and how big is the tub?

Don't keep the whole tub one temperature, but the heater on one side so the boa can thermoregulate. If you boa spills their water you need to dry the tub and all everytime it happens, especially in a tub where humidity is high anyway. Maybe a bowl they can't spill would be better.

Your boa appears to have some sort of neuroligical problem from your description. You should take it to the vet and get it checked our for that movement thing.
