Boas don't get fleas. They can get mites. Are there black specks in the water bowl??
What are your temps, humidity, and husbandry like? What's his setup like?

Re: boa 24/7 in water dish
My first thought would be mites. Second would be too hot. I've never seen any of mine soak in their dish. Check for mites, and like Kali said, what is your set up like?
If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

Do you put the water over the heat? If so moving it will help!
