    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?

    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?

    Need to drop that temp about 4 degrees and humidity should be 55-65%.

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