If you're keeping the boa's tub nice and humid, you'd see a mold ball sprout up where the feces was if you did miss it.
I have had little luck making paper towels work for this species. They require extremely high humidity and benefit from the ability to burrow into bedding - they will spend 99% of their time buried in their bedding.
Ventilation is whatever allows you to maintain humidity levels while also ensuring that there's plenty of fresh air in the tub. The less ventilation you have the faster mold will grow (which can cause RIs), but the more you have the faster the humidity will escape, so you have to find a good middle ground.

I have fed the snake twice already (have had it for a little over 2 weeks) and have not seen any poop yet. I think I am going to switch to eco earth or something like that so it will be easier to see the poop from up top. I had a pacman frog with eco earth and it was easy to spot.
I will try and add some more holes, maybe even had frog moss or something to maintain that humidity. But so far everything seems great with the snake. Kind of bummed about the paper towels but no big deal
