Maybe it is just me or a new type of "medicine" I have never known anybody being able to tell that a snake is sick or defficient by looking at the gums. You can tell this with mammals.

You can pick up a reptile specific vitamin supplement at most pet stores, if you feel the need. If you decide to supplement I would only dose once a month at most. I can not recomend an amount...not knoeing how large your boa is.

I personaly do not supplement, I use high quality feeder rodents that are fed a high quality rodent specific diet that makes them become "vitamins".

Sounds like you should search for a vet that specializes in reptile medicine.
