My response is based on the assumption that she's in a plastic enclosure.



Is she more active than your other boas? Kept on a different substrate? Kept at a different temperature or humidity level? Does she spend more or less time hiding under the substrate?



I ask because I remember having a similar experience with a boa that came in regular contact with the plastic in the enclosure due to hiding under the cage liner directly on top of the plastic. That was my best guess as to why there was a build up of static electricity.



Just some thoughts.. jb
