I have a boa that's probably around 3-4 years old (not certain, I adopted her). She has multiple spine deformations.

It takes her a little while to get going... she gets really scared when I pick her up and tries to wrap around my arms. This messes her up, so when I set her back on the ground, she has to figure herself out again. Her breathing is also a little labored. But she eats great and has the sweetest temperament I've ever seen in a snake... plus, when she does get going, she's into everything.
