Well I'm not sure but what exactly did you use to treat your snake for mites? What is the active ingredient? Most chemicals can be very dangerous for your snake. One of the most comon side affects are nerological (brain damage) Some of the signs are star gazing, laying upside down, acting drunk. If you lay the snake upside down (belly up) it should quickly roll back over but if it appears to have trouble doing so then you may have some problems and you will need to go to the vet ASAP. I would stop using what ever you are using to treat it for mites until you know whats wrong
This is probably what he was using to treat the mites with...I've used it, though didn't like it all that well. As for the laying on it's side, I would say the boa is being lazy. My male does that on occassion, usually after he's eaten, and is nice and relaxed. He has yearly fecals done, and other than that, seems outwardly healthy. THOUGH, by no means am I an expert, I can only state what my boa does.
