Sorry for your loss. Hope the necropsy gives you some answers.
I did not notice that this boa was 8 feet long how old was it? One thing that stands true about boa constrictors is that if they are power fed their lives are shortened considerably is that a possibility here prior to when you took possession? There are boa breeders that have experimented not to kill the snake, but for breeding purposes to get snakes larger earlier that have documentation about power feeding killing their snakes prior to five years of age. Just a thought.
