I've noticed in most of the photos posted, that people keep their boas on pine shavings or some similar substrate.
That is an extremly dry environment for a boa. Especially a baby boa. Especially when you are running heat.
I keep my snakes on newspaper, with folds for them to get under for security. I spray mist the newspaper almost every day for humidity. I also keep a rather large water bowl in every cage for humidity.
That raspy RI indication, sounds like too dry an environment to me. I suggest you try increasing the humidity.
