yeah just put water in your bathtub that is a little more than warm... and put it in there.. it will probably go within 20 minutes

I had a boa go for the first time yesterday since he arrived on Jan 1st. He ate 6 meals before he went. Boas usually only go when the shed. Soaking won't hurt but unless it's been like two months I wouldn't worry.
Cheers,
Trevor
