to to the temps,stress,size of the meal,handling after the meal just to name a few. I'd wait atleast 10-14 days before feeding him/her again. That is very important to do. Hope this helps a little.

And quite a few more reasons. Without knowing the situation,one can only guess. Give your boa at least a two week break from food, make sure it has a ready supply of fresh water, and soak it a couple of times in tepid water for an hour or so each time. And the next few meals you give should be a bit smaller than what you would normally feed, then working back to normal size.
The next time your boa goes poo get a fecal sample to a vet. Ask them to check for parasites, protozoa,and flagellates. Some meds may be in order.
How are you keeping your boa? Cage, temps, humidity feeding regimen? The more details you give the better we can help.
