From what your telling me, your husbandry approach is a bit too tight, that is, its too narrow for some species to succeed.
For instance, right now here, room humidity is 3%, lethally dry for herps. Where you live, perfect.
I would imagine your problem with boas was, too much humidity during the summer. I would imagine that plastic boxes and boas, with high humidity is a no no. I write this while I am watching my trio of rosies, ones gravid.
ALso working in zoos gives me an advantage as I was fortunate to work with all manner of herps. So I am not stuck with a narrow view of husbandry.
I sorta or rebuilt varanid husbandry, and I was lucky enough to include a term. It was, Life events, to be successful with varnids, they must do things or they die. Snakes are not different, only they don't die, they suffer thru it.
