I've had the same thing happen with 2 of my boas. At first, I thought it was an RI too. I took them to the vet and had cultures done. They came back negative. The symptoms went away after they shed.

It could be that your boa just "looks" like it's getting an RI, but it's just stressed out. Maybe the stress is caused by the shed cycle.

If you think your boa is getting an RI take it to a qualified Reptile Vet. Have them do a culture to see if it actually has a RI.
