My guess if it is cage related, then I think it may be just like a baloon that you rub on your head and it sticks to your head from static electricity. I am guessing the same kind of an effect happens when your boa is living in a big plastic cage. The boa must absorb electricity (for lack of a better term) because plastic is not a conductor of electricity. When we touch our boas come we ground them and hence the shock. My guess.
