Dan,
. Your temperatures sound great. What is the humidity in the cage? A good Rainbow Boa cage will at least occasionally have condensation on the inside of the glass. If the cage has a large screen top it will evaporate the moisture out and the humidity will be too low. Being opaque too long could be a sign of a problem. A week is long but within the range of being okay. Whistling breathing sounds can be a sign of a respiratory problem but more often they are caused by the cage humidity being too low causing the snake's nostrils to be dry. What does her skin feel like? Even when they are opaque they should feel like they have soft smooth skin. If the skin feels dry and scaly it is a sign that the snake is too dry.
