I have a rainbow boa about a year and a half old. She has always been active,docile, and had a healthy appetite. Two days ago I tried to feed her and she killed the mouse but did not attempt to eat it. I tried again yesterday and had the same results. Today I was very worried about her when I her she seemed on edge and aggressive. I changed her water and she was starting to act disoriented and seemed to have trouble holding her head up. Now she is squirming around and is keeping her mouth open. She seemed to almost bite herself at one point, and is turning upside down. Does anyone have any advice? I know nothing about snakes and she isn't even mine. There isnt a vet open anywhere close right now. The owner has no clue what is going on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've got no clue what's wrong with your boa but I hope she makes a full and speedy recovery. I'd probably just get her to a vet.
