I don't understand why you are allowing the shed layers to build-up. If a Boa has any retained shed left on, then you need to remove it if they don't do it themselves within a day or two. Letting them climb in a tub of wram,wet towels is one of many ways. Unless there's some kind of dermal issues happening, the best ways to ensure good sheds is plenty of humidity. I liberaly spray my cages with warm water 3 times a week, and daily if they're opaque. Perfect sheds every time for the last few years.
