I just found this boa yesterday,
and brought it home and have been taking care of it, but have no clue what kind it is, or if it has specific needs.
any help would be appreciated.

The picture is not loading so I can not see what kind it is specifically, but in general, assuming it is not a rainbow boa or something (even if it is i think you would just need a humidity box and moss, but I am not super familiar with rainbows), you should make sure you have a hot spot of around 93, a cool/ambient temp of 80-83 and a clean water bowl on the cool side. The hot side heat should be provided by a heat pad and some sort of heat controller either a rheostat or thermostat. If you are using an aquarium, short term, cover the screen tops with a towel or something and long term, consider getting a boaphile cage or something that suits boa husbandry better. Aquariums are not good for boas, the screen tops are awful for holding in heat and humidity and glass is about the worse insulator money can buy.
