Is your boa darker than usual? Usually this happends to my boa during his pre-shed stage. Usually you'll know if he is a lot darker than usual. It's good that you got the humidity higher, he should be back to normal in about a week or so and then he'll be shedding several days or a week later!

My boas eyes also look sunken or depressed prior to sheding. Keep the humidity up in case it is about to shed. If you are sure it is not that then I don't know what to tell you.
