Most likely scenario is she got stressed out by shipping, and maybe cold too in the shipping box or that. Did you give her a heat pack during shipping? A stressed snake in transit gets sick easier and faster than one hanging out in a cage. Since the reciever is a good boaman maybe he noticed immediately too. Some people know how to make a boa open it's mouth, I don't. That way they can check them out better. Get your snake back, go to the vet. If you can go get your snake by car or even plane too, do that. If you can forget the box, that's the last thing this snake needs.

Good luck,
Caden
