Re: snake plants poisonous to boas?
just examine him from head to tail if you see little crawling critters then you have mites.

You know, it would be really helpful if you posted a pic of your snake, and these spots you're talking about.

Well, if they move they're probably not pigmentation.
And if your snake doesn't have spots, then why are you asking if spots he doesn't have are mites or pigmentation?

Re: snake plants poisonous to boas?
Yes mites move, they are alive. Your snake probably wouldn't get snake mites (Ophionyssus natricis) from a plant, but there might be other offending buggers living on that plant that could be harmful. I take my snakes outside in nice weather so mine certainly aren't contained to a "perfect," sterile environment, but I think adding in any kind of living plant is just asking for problems, mainly mold and bacteria.
