I don't have a boa, but I really want one, so I have been reading everything I can find on them, and from what I have read here, it's not too abnormal for them to rest openly in the early stages. Eventually, it will settle into the hides.
I'm sure someone with more experience will come along soon, but I figured I would offer what I could.
By the way, congrats on your new addition!
