Things happen, you know.
This is what I'd do. Strictly my opinion. Just a suggestion.
I'd raise the sick boa's hot spot to about 98 deg. F. Just allow her the opportunity to thermoregulate at the higher temp.
Just like when we get sick and run a fever, they need the opportunity to do the same. Helps fight the infection. Improves immune efficiency.
Also I'd make sure she's got plenty of humidity and no drafts.
Do what the vet says of course and make sure any course of antibiotics is continued through to the end, regardless of diminished symptoms.
Good luck.
