My suggestion to you is to read everything you can get your hands on. Many good sources of Boa husbandry are available to anyone who is willing to search. Normally supplemental additives (Calcium,vitamins)are not necessary in my opinion. If you wish to add once in a while it can't hurt though.
One of the best sources of care can be found at the Link I'll provide below labeled "Ultimate Care Guides" .
I really suggest you read this info in its entirety.
It covers many pretty much all aspects of your Boas care.

Thanks for the link I will definately read it. I have been in PDF for years and I know you definately want to suppliment there so I thought I would check into it for snakes. Again thanks for the info.

I like to switch up their diet every so often by throwing in some chicks.
Rats as a staple, rabbits and chicks on occasion (unless of course they are large enough to where rabbits have become the staple).
Rats, rabbits, and chicks .... and rodent pro even has some quail available. Feed chicks and quail sparringly though as they can cause loose stools. Boas LOVE them though!
